| Fuel leaks in 7.3l and 6.0l diesel engines in ford e-350 ambulances. we have had 4 failures of the fuel filter mounting which have cracked and resulted in fuel leaks. repairs have been made at our expense with significant down time. repairs have been averaging about $900.00 for each ambulance. there are no tsb or recalls according to our local ford dealer. but parts are on a national back order. *tr | |||

| When driving my truck last week it started slowing down and violently shaking. it would not drive faster than 30mph on 95. we found that the fuel system was clogged. we then removed the fuel tank and found what looked to be silver paint chips in the bottom of the tank. it appears as though the lining of the tank is delaminating. this has clogged the entire fuel system. i am in the process of replacing the tank but i don't know if the new tank will have the same problem. i have read many other accounts of this problem online and the repairs to this point will cost me about 1000 dollars. *tr | |||

| I was in traffic and crossing an intersection when my vehicle lost all power and stalled. after a few minutes of sitting the vehicle ran fine. later in traffic it did it again and an accident almost occurred. i had the vehicle checked by pro automotive services and found the inside of the fuel tank lining is flaking off blocking the fuel lines and stalling the vehicle out. this is a very dangerous and unheard of problem. the vehicle is 5 years old and the fuel tank inside is flaking badly. you never know when the vehicle is going to stall or fail in traffic. there where no failure codes displayed or check engine light coming on. *tr | |||

| Failure of fuel vapor valve assembly part #f65z*9b593*da. gas vapors build up in tank and are released under pressure when gas cap removed for refueling. vehicle operates normally with no warning light for at least 30 days or more before check engine light comes on. i think it is fair to say under the correct conditions these vapors could ignite at gas pump when refueling. i have complete records of letters, phone calls and visits to ford dealership, also defective valve was sent to ford motor company and returned to me with a letter saying in part returning part as we do not have facilities for inspecting or evaluation i was also informed my request with service manager at gator ford to meet with myself and rep. from ford is not possible. i am original owner and vehicle has low mileage and well maintained. parts letters and any other information you may need to investigate this matter will be provided from me at your request. cordially yours, daniel trzaska | |||
