My Ford f550 truck is being repaired for a delaminating fuel tank. Ford is trying to say it is from using biofuel,I never used anything but straight diesel. The tank is plastic lined and is coming apart badly and clogging injectors causing the entire fuel system and engine to fail. The dealer said he has seen this before and it is becoming a recurring problem. The truck has 41,777 miles on it. The year is a 2005, it was in for an extreme loss of power while still under warranty,the dealer miss diagnosed the problem, changed the fuel filter and the truck has been running erratic ever since. They said they could not find any problem. Now I am paying to have a new tank installed same as the old one, and the problem is only going to happen again and may even lead to an accident or a blown moto

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. *tr

Truck will have a sudden loss of power when driving on the highway and finally stalls out. It puts the driver and the occupants in a dangerous situation. We do manage to get the truck into the shoulder and attempt to start the truck up. After 10 minutes the truck will start up and drive ok. The truck will continue to do this intermittently putting the occupants at risk. The fuel filter is replaced but continuation of the same problem. The fuel pump is next to be replaced, then the lifter pump with still no results. They finally check the fuel tank and find rust and some sort of brown slime in the tank and replace the tank along with a new fuel filter which solved the problem. *tr

We own a 2005 Ford f-550 diesel truck. We are having problems with the fuel tank delaminating and causing the fuel flow to stop to the engine. This is a common problem on alot of Ford diesel trucks, Ford does not want to take responsibility for the tank delamination, causing the truck to stop running. We are having to pay for the repair, even though the truck is still under warranty. They say that we are running bio-diesel through the truck and this is what is causing the liner separation. *tr
