Filed Feb 18, 2013 · Fuel system · 60,000 miles · NY

Driving at approx. 35-40 MPH truck lost power and stalled . I cranked several times and then it started . I drove about another mile and this repeated twice ,then I was calling a wrecker for a tow. My mechanic discovered the fuel filter & pump was contaminated with a sludge and then looked in the fuel tank and discovered the fuel tank was flaking from the inside , manufacture defect. The cost of parts and repair was $2100.00 , the tank is a 40 gal tank that holds diesel fuel at $ 4.25 per gal. My work associate has the same vehicle and now the same thing happened to him,he will also be filling a report with his win. # ,now we are hearing several of the same occurrences. It sounds like ford needs to do a recall / class action law suit, reimbursement !!! The defect is costing consumer thousands of dollars and additional expenses.
