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).

Fuel pump failure by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford f-450 diesel. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the interior paint of the fuel tank was delaminating. As a result, the fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, fuel injectors, and filters needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance because the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 70,000.
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.
10/5/2010 brighton,mi my truck started to blow white smoke and the engine stopped running while driving down the road. I had it towed to my dealer and was told it has a delamination problem in the fuel tank and the cause was from bio-diesel contamination and I would now need to replace or reseal the tank and install a new fuel pump along with one new injector at a cost of $2643.00 plus tax. I had the repairs done because I need the truck for work I also saved the old parts. Hopefully ford(if they want to sell me another truck in the future) will participate in this repair.
Vehicle was driven to the dealership for sluggishness. I was told that the fuel filter was dirty. Service person replaced the fuel filter and now the truck won't run at all. I am informed that there is fuel contamination. Towed the vehicle to another repair station and I am informed that the lining of the fuel tank is peeling off and the peeling material is now clogging the fuel pump and injection.
