TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F450. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MATERIAL IN THE FUEL TANK HAS DETACHED FROM THE INNER STRUCTURE OF THE TANK. THE MATERIAL WAS IN THE FUEL INJECTOR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH.

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
