This vehicle quit on the highway and was towed back to our shop. The fuel pump fuse had blown. The wires to the fuel pump inside the fuel tank had been rubbing against a hose clamp and had shorted together. Ford does have a tsb concerning this problem. The number is 98-25-1. it concerns me that the wires are shorting out in the highly flammable environment of the inside of a tank full of fuel and vapor. I cannot believe this is only covered by a tsb and not a recall.
