This repair runs anywhere from 1,800. 00 to 2,000. 00 dollars ,I guess this is just another win for the big guys and screwing for us.

10 Diesel Fuel System Tank Assembly problem of the 1999 Ford F-550

Failure Date: 05/03/2006

We have 4 f550 buses that have had the gas tank replaced twice on each bus do what we believe is coating failure. We now have an f450 that is experiencing the same conditions, we are forced to replace the gas tank on this vehicle as well. We take our vehicles to Ford miramar truck center, and have had a Ford factor representative look into the problem only to tell us its not a tank failure issue. After what will now be 9 replaced gas tanks, I truly believe there is an issue here that must be seriously looked into. On a side note, after the second tank failure we changed gas stations thinking the problem was bad fuel-not the problem.
