I was driving my truck and it started to lose power like it was running out of fuel. Then all of a sudden the truck just shut off. I couldn't get the truck to restart at all. The truck was towed to a garage. When I looked in to the fuel tank I found the inside of it was peeling apart. I checked the filter and they both were clogged with the lining of the fuel tank.

1. 2005 ford f550 diesel truck stalling, rough idle, loss of power completely. 2. The diesel fuel tank is delaminating and has caused $6,000 worth in damages. My truck stopped working completely and was towed to a ford dealership here in hawaii for diagnosis. My f550 is currently covered with a super duty diesel engine care warranty that cost over $3,000 yet ford will not replace the defected tank that has caused thousands of problems nationwide to date. The tanks need to be recalled and individuals need to be reimbursed. Ford has taken away from our economy and endangered our roads. 3. Fuel filters, fuel tank, fuel injectors, fuel pumps, fuel pressure regulators, and fuel senders all need to be replaced. They are planning to replace the fuel tank with the same manufactured tank. It has already been documented that the problem will reoccur as many have had to replace the tank more than once. Ford blames biodiesel yet I have never used biodiesel. This is manufactured defect. No other diesel tanks are having this problem on a daily basis nationwide.

I own a ford f 550 sd 2005, this truck has had fuel system problem off and on since I purchased three years ago. But this past week it started missing and stopping on me in traffic, I took it to the ford dealer and I'm told that the fuel tank lining is coming off and damaged the fuel pump, filters and injectors, repair to cost $5,000. Also that this is due to the epa's low sulfur requirement on diesel fuels. This may be true but ford know of this way prior to the start date of this new fuel and still is using defective parts that they will not cover under warranty or a recall today.... This parts failure include 2 fuel tanks, fuel pump, fuel filters,and injectors all damaged due to a poor tank lining or coating.
