I have a cracked fuel filler hose on a 97 Ranger, which I believe might be triggering the check engine light (code p1443). It appears to be a simple fix if you have a new hose, just a couple of hose clamps to attach to the body and fuel tank. It's a tight fit between the pickup bed and fuel tank, but do-able. I don't believe any auto parts store will carry the hose, and I called the parts department at a dealership, who gave me a quote of $300-$400+ depending on body style. I asked why it was so expensive and they said something about it being a hose inside of a hose. I recommend trying to find the hose off a Ranger at a scrapyard and replacing it yourself. One possible difficulty is finding a Ranger with the same body style, I don't know if they could be interchangeable at all. |
