I have a 2007 ford f-550 with only 31000 miles and the vehicle lost power and stalled out on side of road. When ford dealership checked the vehicle it was found that the fuel tank liner had deteriorated and rusted causing debris to enter into the fuel system which damaged the fuel pump, injectors and other parts of the fuel system. After talking with other ford dealerships we found out that this has been a problem with other vehicles that have this same tank. If ford would have recalled the tank or at least made it known to the owners that there was a problem all the damage would not have happened. This has cost us already $2658 to the ford dealership and we have about $1500 more to spend to correct the problem----all because ford would not even let us know there was a problem that could have been fixed for a lot less.

I own a 2007 ford f550 diesel truck. The truck suddenly lost power and was on the verge of stalling. The truck was driven back at less than 40 MPH on the interstate. After taking it to the dealership they discovered that the fuel tank was delaminating. Ford is not coving the tank under warranty stating that it is was caused by the changes in the epa fuel requirements in 2009. This problem has also caused the fuel pump and 2 injectors to fail also. The repairs are over $2,600. After looking online, it appears that this is a major problem with ford trucks. It makes for a very unsafe situation considering most of these trucks are used for towing, hauling, ambulances, firetrucks, etc.

The diesel fuel tank had corroding and showing rust on the inside of the tank. Seems like a delamination problem. The truck is still within the warranty period but ford refuses to cover the problem because they do not consider it a manufacturer's defect. They blame the diesel fuel companies. Ford said the tanks were manufactured for the diesel fuel specifications at that time, not now. The delaminated material is the lining of the fuel tank. This also cost two fuel injectors to fail. The truck stalled and would not run or start. Had to call the ford dealer to tow my truck to their site. Had to replace the fuel tank and two injectors at a cost of $3,000. This problem is not happening to a gmc, chevy. Or dodge diesel truck.
