1 Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2011

While driving with fuel level between 1/8 and 1/4 tank, truck shut down completely. The "50 miles to empty" indicator had illuminated approx. 2 miles before failure. Had truck towed to dealer and was forced to pay approx. $250 for diagnostic and tow. Dealer coordinated with Ford corporate and determined I drove truck until fuel was empty. Approx. 4 weeks later, truck shut down again. Dealer explained I would have to "place a bet" that the fuel indicator sensor was "out of tolerance. " they would have to remove fuel tank and check sensor. Per tech, if sensor was within tolerance, I would have to pay the entire bill. I told them to go ahead and perform the check. Sensor was in fact out of tolerance and was indicating more fuel than was actually in the tank. Sensor was replaced and the dealer, not Ford, refunded the original amount of repair. Last Ford I will purchase. Gm/chevy will be my next diesel purchase.
