Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford f450. While driving approximately 40-45 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to move off the roadway and after several attempts to restart the vehicle; the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer.

The coating on the interior of ford diesel fuel tanks corrodes and collects as sediment in the fuel system. The sediment, collects at the botton of the fuel tank and is sucked into the fuel system. The fuel lines become fouled, the fuel pumps become clogged and require replacement. As the coating continues to deteriorate, the only recourse it to change the fuel tank, the sensors, and entire fuel delivery system. We have had 3 ford vehicles f series experience this problem. In this instance, the truck was returned to the dealer for repair. After spending $1912.11 in remedies, the final recourse was to have our own mechanics replace the fuel sytem from the tank itselt upto and including the fuel pump. This was an additional expense of approximately $1000. We are reporting this as it seems to be a defect in all the ford diesel fuel systems. As the fuel systems become clogged, the vehicles lose power without warning and create a safety issue and driving hazard not only to the vehicle operator but other motorists. Upon complaints to the dealer, and to ford, the dealer referred us to the odi website to final a safety complaint as this has occurred over and over.

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.
2006 ford f-450. The lining on the inside of the fuel tank is disintegrating, plugging the filters and causing fuel related problems. The truck only has 54,000 miles on it. The dealership is wanting to charge me $2100 for a new fuel tank. I told them this is a manufacturing defect and ford should stand behind it. They said it was caused by fuel. I cannot afford to have the vehicle repaired.
Ford diesel fuel tank delamination. Sudden loss of power on the freeway, due to delamination particles clogging the injectors.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f450. While replacing the fuel filter, the mechanic found chips of paint from the lining of the fuel tank.

The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The failure and current mileages were 45,000.
1)traffic systems has a fleet of vehicles to perform our business which include all manufactures(chevy,ford,international,isuzu,etc).the events that lead to failure is the deterioration of the fuel system,which leads to engine shut down. 2)the failure occurs every 4000,5000 miles. 3)everytime this happens the trucks shutdown in the middle of driving anywhere they are. Our business has employees that drive and work out of these trucks, every time this happens we have to get the trucks towed to dealer and pickup our employees.
I own several ford trucks, f450, vans and others. All the trucks have problems with the gas tanks, where the paint peels off and clogs the gas tank. I have attempted to reach the dealers where I purchase the trucks from and they don't want to do anything about this.
