This is another issue with the "delaminating fuel tank" on our F-550. Ford is telling people that this is a "fuel" issue and not covered under their warranty. Our truck has 36000 miles on it and for the second time we had to replace the ignitors, fuel pump and filters. I was told by Ford that they would repair the engine under warranty but it was going to happen again if I did not replace the fuel tank that was delaminating. WHAT?!! I made a big enough noise (siting this site and several others) and they paid for the tank replacement. I am asking Ford to come out with a statement admitting there is an issue with these tanks, and more importantly letting owners of these tanks know that if they do not replace them they will be rebuilding their engins over and over again (usually not under warranty).
Let me know if anyone out there is willing to help push Ford into a recall or at least a "technical service statement" so more small business owners are not forced to spend thousands of dollars on an issue caused by a faulty fuel tank supplied by Ford. I have 11 Ford vehicles in my fleet. I know Ford is hurting right now, but so are small businesses who own these trucks.
I have over a dozen names of others that have had the same problem and am looking for more. pts@readyrooter.com
