Default f150 died in the road, fuel in the breather

I have a 93 f-150. I was going down the road, it missed, then lost power, I tried to coast to a side road, but it died as i was turning. When the tow truck got it to the house, fuel was pouring out the front. On further inspection we found fuel in the breather, and the $10 of gas I had bought 3 miles before all this happened, was gone. Any thoughts? There were no lights on, and my gadges were good.

Thanks!

Sounds like the fuel pressure regulator went bad and you pumped the fuel thru the regulator into the vaccum line attatched to it and into the intake manifold. If this is the case, I would pull the plugs befor trying to crank it over. Otherwise you could bend a connecting rod trying to compress the liquid fuel.

robnkim, are you a automobile maintainer? If no, why not take your f-150 to some vehicle technology service and have it repaired there?
BTW, your f-150 sounds a little aged.
