2006 Ford F-450 Sd Fuel system Problems

"DELAMINATION OF FUEL TANK" AFTER ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR SHORTLY OVER FOUR MONTHS, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT CRANK. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET IN WASHINGTON, DC WHERE I RACKED UP 2 PARKING TICKETS. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE TANK IS CORRODING. I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE GAS GAUGE WOULD GO OUT PERIODICALLY ALONG WITH THE POWER. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT, AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. NOW THAT THE 90 DAY WARRANTY IS OVER, THE GOES OUT COMPLETELY IN 120 DAYS. IT TOOK THE DEALER A MONTH TO DELIVER THE TRUCK TO ME AFTER I PURCHASED IT.

THE LAST EVENT WAS WHEN WE HAD FUEL GETTING INTO THE COOLANT AND FOUND BOTH HEADS CRACKED AND EGR COOLER BAD AGAIN. WE HAD ENGINE REPAIRED WITH ALL AFTER MARKET PARTS COSTING OVER $9000.

THE COATING ON THE INTERIOR OF FORD DIESEL FUEL TANKS CORRODES AND COLLECTS AS SEDIMENT IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE SEDIMENT, COLLECTS AT THE BOTTON OF THE FUEL TANK AND IS SUCKED INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE FUEL LINES BECOME FOULED, THE FUEL PUMPS BECOME CLOGGED AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. AS THE COATING CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE, THE ONLY RECOURSE IT TO CHANGE THE FUEL TANK, THE SENSORS, AND ENTIRE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. WE HAVE HAD 3 FORD VEHICLES F SERIES EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. AFTER SPENDING $1912.11 IN REMEDIES, THE FINAL RECOURSE WAS TO HAVE OUR OWN MECHANICS REPLACE THE FUEL SYTEM FROM THE TANK ITSELT UPTO AND INCLUDING THE FUEL PUMP. THIS WAS AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE OF APPROXIMATELY $1000. WE ARE REPORTING THIS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN ALL THE FORD DIESEL FUEL SYSTEMS. AS THE FUEL SYSTEMS BECOME CLOGGED, THE VEHICLES LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE AND DRIVING HAZARD NOT ONLY TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR BUT OTHER MOTORISTS. UPON COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER, AND TO FORD, THE DEALER REFERRED US TO THE ODI WEBSITE TO FINAL A SAFETY COMPLAINT AS THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER AND OVER.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE 290 HWY AROUND BUFFALO NY THE TRUCK STALLED IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT 60 MPH FORTUNATELY THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. UPON EXAMINATION OF THE PROBLEM WE FOUND THE FUEL FILTERS PLUGGED WITH DEBRIS FROM THE DETERIORATING LINER OF THE FUEL TANK. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER IT WAS FOUND THAT FORD WAS REPLACING THESE UNDER ITS EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND THAT IF PAST THAT YOU WERE ON YOUR OWN , TO THE TUNE OF $1000.00. WE HAVE HAD FORD DIESELS SINCE 1974 AND OVER 250,000 MILES ON THEM WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHAT EVER FORD DID IS CAUSING FUEL PUMP, INJECTER , AND GAS TANK ISSUES ON THE 6.0 DIESEL, WHICH IS THE WORST DIESEL FORD EVER MADE. THIS TRUCK HAS 90,000 MILES AND A VERY FREQUENT REPAIR HISTORY,IN 10,000 MILES IT WILL BE OUT OF THEIR ENGINE WARRANTY LEAVING OWNERS LIKE ME SADDLED WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS FROM THE SERVICE MANAGERS TO THEIR CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPT., YOU GET THE SAME SONG, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO!!!! I HAVE SAMPLES OF THE DETERIORATED LINER AND FUEL. IF IT HAD BEEN RUSH HOUR WHEN THE TRUCK QUIT, I AM SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
