Consumer Description

2002 FORD F550 SUPER DUTY DIESEL WITH 44,000 MILES HAS A RUSTING FUEL TANK CAUSING THE FUEL FILTER, PUMP, AND INJECTORS TO GET CLOGGED. ONLY DIESEL FUEL HAS BEEN USED. WHEN UNDER ANY STRAIN OR LOAD THE ENGINE WITH BEGIN TO LOSE POWER AND SPUTTER. ONCE THE ENGINE RUNS FOR A FEW MINUTES AT IDLE IT SEEMS TO CLEAR UP AGAIN UNTIL LOAD IS PUT ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS ONLY POSSIBLE TO MOVE AROUND AT A CRAWL. THE FUEL FILTER WAS REPLACED AND IT WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH RUST. THERE WHERE FINES AND LARGER PARTICLES WHICH WERE OBVIOUSLY RUST. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR REPLACEMENT TANKS WITHOUT SUCCESS. *TR
