I am having problems with my ford tank falling apart inside - have done my research and read about 100+ posts from other people with the same problem, no caused by the fuel, but by the tanks cheap design. Its going to cost thousands of dollars to fix - this is not fair - ford knows of this problem, and they should fix it!!!!!
2001 Ford F-550 SD fuel system complaints

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 ford f550. While driving approximately 55 MPH on normal road conditions, the check engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The indicator remained illuminated until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to the computerized system. The vehicle was repaired. Recently, there was corrosion in the fuel tank. The fuel tank was replaced and the vehicle is currently operating properly. The contact was concerned of the safety risk involved. The VIN and mileages were unknown.
I have been experiencing power failure, fuel starvation on my 2001 f550 diesel truck. I replaced the filters today at the onset of the incident, but just replaced them about a month ago with my mechanic. It runs fine on level ground, but at an incline it loses power and barely makes it up a hill. I removed the tank pump from the top of the tank and looked in to it with a flashlight. The lining of my tank is peeling off. After investigating online, I find this is a serious issue with ford. I cannot afford to repair this vehicle again. I run a small business, and rely on this only truck to support my family of 7 kids, wife and mother. I have put 3 transmissions in this vehicle in its 110,000 mile lifetime, and now this.
