Consumer Description

MY FUEL TANK INTERIOR FLAKED SO SEVERELY IT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BUCK VIOLENTLY AND DRAMATICALLY LOOSE POWER. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE ALMOST COMPLETE BLOCKAGE OF THE FUEL TANK PICKUP SCREEN/FILTER. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO DISASSEMBLE AND THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE FUEL PICKUP OF THE FLAKES 4 TIMES INCLUDING TODAY. EACH TIME THE PICKUP WAS PACKED WITH SILVER FLAKES FROM THE DETERIORATING LINING OF THE FUEL TANK. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED EACH TIME WHILE TRAILERING MY RV DOWN THE INTERSTATE. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND THE ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TO THE NEXT EXIT. THE PROBLEM IS SO PERSISTENT THAT I HAVE PUT A DOOR IN THE FLOOR OF MY VAN SO THAT I NO LONGER HAVE TO DROP THE TANK FOR ACCESS. I PURCHASED THIS FORD E-350 DIESEL NEW IN 2000. *TR
