Description of the problem | I own a 2009 f-350 super duty power stroke diesel 6. 0l. At approx. 30,000 miles the truck would have episodes of running rough maybe once every 50miles. I brought it to my mechanic who replaced the fuel filters and thought i might have gotten some bad diesel. Less than 1,000 miles later the truck ran much worse . It would begin running rough , losing power and sometimes stall. Once it occured as i was pulling on to a fast moving highway and i almost caused an accident bacause i could not accelerate. These episodes would occur once every ten miles and very quickly started occuring every mile. To make a long and expensive story short the protective coating on the inside of the fuel tank was peeling off and clogging fuel delivery. This problem is extremely common i have come to find out . My truck was just past its warranty period so i had no choice but to purchase another tank from ford with no assurance it won't happen again. This is clearly poor and defective craftsmanship and dangerous. |
