MY 2005 F-450 BEGAN LOSING POWER. I TOOK IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED,(STILL UNDER WARRANTY). THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS COMING APART INSIDE. THE TANK IS LINED INSIDE WITH A SHEET OF ALUMINUM. THE ALUMINUM IS COMING APART INSIDE THE TANK AND CLOGGING THE FUEL SYSTEM. SO THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEED A NEW FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP, INJECTOR PUMP, AND NEW FUEL INJECTORS. THIS TANK IS DEFECTIVE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THESE TRUCKS SINCE 1999-2008. FORD KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING. FORD HAS HAD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $4200.00 TO FIX, EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP SAYS FORD WILL NOT COVER THERE DEFECTIVE PART. I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES THIS TRUCK, ALWAYS USE PUMP FUEL NO BIODIESEL EVER.

WE HAVE A FORD 2005 F-450 RACK BODY TRUCK. IN 2007-08 WE PAID A FORD DEALERSHIP APPROX.$4000 TO REPLACE FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP AND INJECTORS ON SAID VEHICLE. JUST THIS WEEK, A DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND WE WOULD INCUR SIMILAR EXPENSES BECAUSE FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART BUT A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL. *TR
