Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Ford F-450

The high pressure fuel pump failed. Ford claimed that this was from contaminated fuel. Ford has two fuel filters and a water separator. I personally added two additional filters and an additional water separator, for a total of four filters and two separators. Ford also has a water in fuel light that is supposed to alert the driver to contamination. At no time did this light come on. In short, I believe Ford has a defective fuel pump and a defective filtration and water alerting system. This truck shutdown, with no warning at 70 mph on a limited access highway. Ford refuses to address the problem and continues to blame the owner. This is a safety issue and I was fortunate that there was light traffic and I was able to safely steer the powerless truck to the side of the road. In researching this issue, I've seen that there are numerous reports of the same problem on the 6. 7 liter powerstroke diesel engine from 2011 on.

I was making a left hand turn afyer stoping at a traffic light and loss power. The engine light came on and the turbo pressure gauge dropped. I took the truck into the dealer and the dealer told me that a manafold bolt had broken which caused a bad exhuast leak. Repair cost was $3500. I drove the truck less than 50 miles over the next two days and the problem happened again with loss of power and engine light on. I took the truck back the dealer and was informed that the high pressure fuel pump had exploded and sent metal debris through out the fuel system. I was then told the repair cost were going to $7500 ($6000 for parts and $1500 for labor). This is a bad Ford engineering design problem and should be paid for by Ford as well as a recall on all models using the same hpfp assembly.

We are original owners. Truck only used to haul drinking water. That is why the mileage is low. In March we smelled gasoline in drive but we have several cars and couldn't pinpoint problem or see gas on ground. We had filled up the truck and thought maybe some gas had spilled. After that we had several incidences of driving down road 40-60 mph and truck slowed to 20mph. It stalled and came toa complete stop on a few occasions. We were able to restart it. Local shop ran diagnostic check and nothing was evident. Took it to Ford dealer today and mechanic says the gas tank has imploded due to crack and dirt got in and fuel pump is clogged. We have never had any incidence of damage to our vehicle and no incident that would cause the fuel tank to split. We found on the internet a class action lawsuit in 2012 for the same problem and model of vehicle we have. We were never notified of a recall or potential problem. This is a safety issue as the vehicle suddenly loses power and it is difficult to steer to the berm.

The vehicle involved is a horton ambulance on a Ford f450 chasis. While on an emergency call the unit stopped operating and then engine would no longer start. The vehicle was towed to ted britt Ford's truck repair center in chantilly. Upon examination they found that due to the fuel tank delaminating, debris had damaged the fuel pump and fuel system. Spoke with Ford in regards to recall or repair assistance as this is a highly documented issue. Ford refuses to acknowledge this as an ongoing issue and will not take ownership for the defective fuel tanks. At this time we are considering having to replace all of our Ford steel fuel tanks as we have no way to prevent this damage to our vehicles and Ford refuses to resolve the issue.
