2006: “Our Ford lcf450 was lacking power and was idling rough. We took it in to our local dealer and they stated that the fuel tank was delaminating which clogged the fuel lines. They said we needed to replace the fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel filters. The dealership said that this was caused by putting in diesel fuel that had trace amounts of biofuel.”
