“I was inquiring about the delamination of fords fuel tanks on their f-series diesels. I own a 2000 f350 7.3l diesel. Last week it began to run as if it wasn't getting fuel so I stopped into a local Ford dealer and their diagnoses was the fuel tank on my f350 started to delaminate and clog the entire fuel system. I have owned this truck since it was new and have done all the maintenance and up-keep as required I haven't had any trouble until after the fuel companies started to change the diesel fuel. I have owned the truck since it was new and never had a problem until just recently. …”
