We believe the fuel line came off of the fuel filter. The truck caught fire and went up in flames. There is nothing left of the truck other than the frame. CHP and the fire department came to the scene. They put the fire out and the truck has been taken to the tow yard. Nothing has been inspected yet.
2019 Ford F-250 SD fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 51, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After sitting for extended durations the engine experiences a no start or long crank condition. Research and discussion with local mechanic indicate this is an issue with a failed/failing fuel pump and/or fuel pump module. It is my understanding a recall exists for similar failures on other ford models.
Ford Diesel 250 flat out stalled while driving on a very congested Highway. Full tank of Diesel. No warning. Complete stall at 65MPH, no brakes, no power steering, no lights. Was almost killed when the truck almost crashed into a bus. Happened (4) more times as we made our way back home. Internet search shows that Ford Motor Company is fully aware of this common failure of their fuel system. Federal regulators need to pressure Ford for a Recall before someone is killed
The fuel pump blew up in our F250 while driving a main road on Thursday [XXX]. The vehicle was towed to the nearby facility to investigate the situation. It was discovered today 9/8/2025 that the fuel pump had sent metal shavings through the whole fuel systems which all needs to be replaced now.

Vehicle shuts off while traveling down the highway with no warning. I was able to not panic as this happened on interstate hwy while in middle lane was able to shift to neutral and restart vehicle shift back in drive and go on. The potential for a much worse result was huge I have to imagine a lot of drivers may not think of what I did and allowed the vehicle to come to a stop on the highway creating an obvious hazard
Engine long cranks before starting. Sometimes hesitates starting out or at speed. Possible fuel pump issue.
My fuel pump on this truck went out at 130,000 miles. This repair is quoted at $12,500. When this pump went out it caused the truck to stall while driving. This truck stalled while crossing two lanes of traffic on a highway with a speed limit of 55-60mph. When I got into the turn, I had to coast across the two lines of traffic with no throttle due to the malfunction. Luckily, there was no collision. However, it was a very close call at high speeds.
