I have the same problem on my 07 edge. Mechanic tells me the are rot hole in top of tank. Called ford to ask about recall they say they can't help. I'm going to keep at them. Very expensive job

I DONT KNOW IF YOU ARE ABLE TO GET A PIC OF THE TANK IF ITS NOT TO LATE TRY AN GET IT POST IT I AM GETTING A PIC OF MY DAUGHTERS TANK AN POSTING IT SO WE CAN COMPARE I THINK IF WE GET MORE OWNERS OF THE FORD EDGE 2007 SEL AWD FUEL TANKS IT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL IN GETTING SOMETHING DONE

I've had my 07 AWD Edge for six months without any problems. Last week I noticed a gas smell. Today the tank is leaking from the top of the tank after a fill up. I don't believe it is a case of overfilling the tank. The stealership reportedly fixed the same problem before I bought it in December. They said they replaced the tank but I don't believe it - I think they either replaced a gasket or tried to seal the leak.

 

If you have any experience with a similar problem, or replacing any gaskets on the tank or replacing the whole tank, your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Should I go to Ford, back to the dealership, NHTSA or all the above?

 

Thanks in advance,
