| Description of the problem | I own a ford f 550 sd 2005, this truck has had fuel system problem off and on since i purchased three years ago. But this past week it started missing and stopping on me in traffic, i took it to the ford dealer and i'm told that the fuel tank lining is coming off and damaged the fuel pump, filters and injectors, repair to cost $5,000. Also that this is due to the epa's low sulfur requirement on diesel fuels. This may be true but ford know of this way prior to the start date of this new fuel and still is using defective parts that they will not cover under warranty or a recall today.... This parts failure include 2 fuel tanks, fuel pump, fuel filters,and injectors all damaged due to a poor tank lining or coating. |
