1 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2011

I was inquiring about the delamination of Fords fuel tanks on their f-series diesels. I own a 2000 f350 7. 3l deisel. Last week it began to run as if it wasn't getting fuel so I stoped into a local Ford dealer and their diagnoses was the fuel tank on my f350 started to delaminate and clog the entire fuel system. I have owned this truck since it was new and have done all the maintaince and up-keep as required I haven't had any trouble until after the fuel companies started to change the diesel fuel. I have owned the truck since it was new and never had a problem until just recently. The fuel tank problem was diagnosed last week by a Ford dealer in my area and it will cost aproximently $3600 to repair. My question is, "is there giong to be an investigation on this?" I have found a blog from many other customers that are having the same trouble. Someone else should have to pay for this not the consumer or Ford, unless they new this would be a problem and continued to put metal tanks in instead of plastic. I would greatly appreciate a reply.

2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/18/2011

Fuel tank strap has broken again. 2nd time for the rear strap,front replaced 1 time. Also replaced gas tank in 2006 due to leak from rusting at seam,tank is starting to leak again. Tank dropped to the street when strap gave way last time,luckily I was going slow on a side street. Speaking with other owners of these trucks,f-350 superduty 2000 cab and chassis most are having or have had the same issues I am having.
