#700984November 29, 1998
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM DEALER. USED WITH NO WARRANTY. I QUESTIONED NOISE COMING FROM REAR TANK BEFORE BUYING VEHICLE AND SALESMAN STATED "THAT'S JUST THE FUEL PUMP AND IT IS COMMON WITH PUMPS MOUNTED IN THE FUEL TANK". WHEN TRUCK WAS SWITCHED TO REAR TANK THE TRUCK STARTED HESITATING ON TAKE-OFF. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP (REAR TANK) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT IS COMMON FOR FORD TRUCKS. I WAITED A WEEK, AND BEGAN HAVING THE HESITATION PROBLEM ON THE FRONT TANK ALSO. THE REPAIR SHOP SUGGESTED THE FUEL FILTER WAS ALSO BAD. WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE OUT THE FILTER, THEY SAID THAT THE O-RING IN THE LINE GOING FROM THE FILTER TO THE ENGINE HAD A FAILED 0-RING MAKING IT IMPOSSILBE TO INSTALL THE NEW FILTER. THE FUEL LINE HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. THE TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP NOW AWAITING A FUEL LINE FROM FORD DEALER.
