I own two 2005 f450 mason dumps and the fuel tanks in both are flaking apart inside and destroying both of my engines !! The repairs and damage are endless and im sick to hear ford is aware of this and has not made any attempt to notify me. Had I known this was an issue I would have asked them to replace both with an approved plastic tank prior to my lines, injectors, filters and who knows what else getting clogged and destroyed by this flaw. The repair fees and lost wages due to this known problem is a disgrace and I would like to know my options against ford. I currently own 4 ford trucks, will all do the same ??

In 2006 34,918 miles ford had to replace the fuel pump on my 2005 f450 truck. They also replaced the injectors several times also replaced the turbo. They have found rust in the system, this is caused from the liner in the tank has fallen apart. The truck runs real bad, bucking and losing power. The mileage on the truck now is 125000. I have changed my fuel filter many times and within mins after changing the bucking starts. I live in the san francisco area and I know they regulate the fuel. The shop wants $4000.00 to change my injectors, then $2100.00 to change the tank. This is said when a fuel tank falls apart in side and they want you to pay the cost. I paid $50000 when I bought this f450. I know I will not buy another ford product if I have to pay this bill. My 3 gmc trucks are running great, and so was our dodge. I hope you can help me with on going problem. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
