1 Diesel Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2005

Vehicle diesel system has a problem transferring fuel into the truck for use. It runs out while the front fuel tank is still full of fuel. The fuel tank never reads over half full. It is being towed for the second time during the month of July. It will be in the dealership shop for the 3rd time since purchased, 2nd time this month. We are told they do not know what to do, since they cannot figure out the problem. We are currently waiting for a service bulletin. This truck is our only work truck and a car loaner does not help with the towing of our Mini.
