Consumer Description

THRILLED W/FORD'S SEMI-SORT-OF RECALL ON THEIR FOCUS FUEL PUMPS DUE TO "PROGRESSIVE CONTAMINATION." HAD MINE REPLACED AT 17,500 MILES, AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF SUPPOSED COMTAMINATED GAS. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I AM NOT ELEGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE OF CONTAMINATED GAS. FORD TELLS ME THAT POOR DESIGN IS CAUSING FILTER/PUMP TO BECOME CLOGGED. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS CLOGGING THE LATTER IF NOT FOR "ALLEGED" CONTAMINANTS IN THE GAS?
