Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Ford E-350

Approximately 6 times on a 800 mile road trip when it was 90 degrees or hotter in the afternoon my 1996 e350 motorhome would stop running at highway speed stranding us in a dangerous situation on i40. After sitting idle for 30-60 minutes it would start and run maybe 30 miles and stop. In the cool of the evening or morning it would run as long as needed. The problem is an inadequate fuel pump which is well documented on many internet blogs. In mid year 1996 Ford upgraded to a turbine fuel pump which I have now paid $450 to install. This upgrade solves the problem. I was also stranded at major intersections also. I read there might have been a recall for this problem which I cannot find. My understanding of the problem is that the original fuel pump was a gerotor which caused cavitation of fuel which caused air to reach the fuel rail causing the vapor lock like problem.

Vehicle brokedown while traveling at about 45mph on sr20 in washington state without warning and blocked traffic lanes, towed to shop where they found code p0191, swapped relay, unable to crank and verifed not fuel pressure. Found bolts broken off holding internal fuel pump, had to replace fuel tank and pumps. When finsihed vehicle would not crank, found burn markes on back of instrument cluster from short in fuel pump, replaced cluster and vehicle is running fine. More than a week down and just under $5,000. 00 for repairs for a fuel pump failure that is internal to the fuel tank, the broken attachment bolts and instant loss of power (not being able to clear the roadway) is the reason for this filing.

I purchased this 28' shasta class c motorhome from a private party. All reciepts from work history were included. Upon the first time out, towing my 1200 lb boat to lake mead ( no significant hills as I live in las vegas ), the motorhome ran beautiful, even up to the point of parking. I came out two days later to start it when I noticed the battery as drained. Upon looking under the hood, I noticed it had caught on fire, burning 2 injectors and other wiring located in the same vacinity. I replaced injectors, relays, fuel pump, all hoses, coil, etc. . . The best guess is the diverter from thermactor may have caused, but regardless this was a factory issue. It still doesn't run, going to replace ecm, inertia sw, etc until it does. Just grateful it didn't burn up everything.

Rented budget truck in alabama on 8/30. Drove from alabama to iowa. Rented an auto transport in addition to the Ford E-350 (2012). The E-350 was the only one available and I needed to take it because I had no other option but to move on that date. The E-350 had the following dangerous issues: 1) nearly bald front left tire. 2) windshield wipers did not reliably clear rain from windshield (blurred vision) 3) had to manually pump fuel every 1/2 gallon. The fuel pump would cut off every 1/2 gallon even though the truck was half full of fuel. This happened at two different gas stations. 4) the auto transport was rusted and appeared to have never been inspected thoroughly. 5) the auto transport was rented to me with low tire pressure in the right side tires. 6) the auto transport had defective ratchet straps which were used for the securing of the towed vehicle. 7) the auto transport's tongue jack was damaged with bent metal where the connection pin was located. While I got to my destination safely, I used very safe driving techniques in order to ensure that neither I nor my wife were injured during our drive. She drove in a separate car and would drive next to the E-350 to inspect the integrity of the ratchet straps on the auto transport every 20 miles to ensure they were still working. I have driven many vehicles in my lifetime, even military vehicles, and I have never felt so unsafe as I did in this budget truck rental with auto transport. This was one of the worst experiences of my driving history and I will never rent from budget truck rental again.
