FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS INQUIRING ABOUT THE DELAMINATION OF FORDS FUEL TANKS ON THEIR F-SERIES DIESELS. I OWN A 2000 F350 7.3L DIESEL. LAST WEEK IT BEGAN TO RUN AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING FUEL SO I STOPPED INTO A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEIR DIAGNOSES WAS THE FUEL TANK ON MY F350 STARTED TO DELAMINATE AND CLOG THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW AND HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND UP-KEEP AS REQUIRED I HAVEN'T HAD ANY TROUBLE UNTIL AFTER THE FUEL COMPANIES STARTED TO CHANGE THE DIESEL FUEL. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED LAST WEEK BY A FORD DEALER IN MY AREA AND IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $3600 TO REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS, "IS THERE GOING TO BE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS?" I HAVE FOUND A BLOG FROM MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE. SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS NOT THE CONSUMER OR FORD, UNLESS THEY NEW THIS WOULD BE A PROBLEM AND CONTINUED TO PUT METAL TANKS IN INSTEAD OF PLASTIC. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A REPLY. *TR
