Description of the problem	While traveling at highway speeds on the interstate the engine began to rapidly loose power. The warning light showed "reducing power". The truck quickly lost power but i was able to move it from the travel lanes as the engine completely shut down and i lost power steering and power brake functions. The truck was towed to a authorized ford dealer where it was determined that due to "contamination" in the fuel supply the fuel regulator stuck open and the engine shut down to prevent further damage. Upon visual inspection by me at the dealership i examined the metal portion of the fuel regulator which had rust like corrosion on it due to moisture in the fuel. Ford's position is that the moisture in the diesel fuel is "contamination" and therefore caused the problem. The system has two in line filters one of which is specifically designed to separate water from the fuel because diesel fuel has a certain moisture content in it. Ford will not warranty the repair and is recommending a complete replacement of the fuel system or the remaining warranty will be voided. The repair is estimated to be in the $10,000 to $12,000 range. My understanding is that ford(as well as other automakers that use the bosch fuel systems) has many complaints related to fragility of this diesel fuel system and that it was recommended to me to file a complaint with the nhtsa. I am able to provide more specific details as required. Please contact me with any questions.
