| Description of the problem | We have a 2006 ford 550 diesel with 37,000 miles on it. The fuel tank has corroded and affected the fuel pump and fuel injectors. The dealership invalidated my warranty, said we used bad diesel in the tank. We have other vehicles on the same fuel, with no issues. This is my 15th ford truck. This is my first truck with this kind of issue. Ford said it would cost me $6,500 to repair. The internet is full of trucks with this same issue. A recall. |
