 I was inquiring about the delamination of fords fuel tanks on their f-series diesels. i own a 2000 f350 7.3l deisel. last week it began to run as if it wasn't getting fuel so i stoped 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 maintaince 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. the fuel tank problem was diagnosed last week by a ford dealer in my area and it will cost aproximently $3600 to repair. my question is, is there giong to be an investigation on this? i have found a blog from many other customers that are having the same trouble. someone else should have to pay for this not the consumer or ford, unless they new this would be a problem and continued to put metal tanks in instead of plastic. i would greatly appreciate a reply.

 After complaining to bf goodrich about (4) cracking sidewalls and being told that they were surface cracks and if the tires held air they would do nothing because the tires are good at (1) year old with 20,000 mi. (1 1/2) year later the sidewall and tire tread separated while sitting in the drive way. i have now replaced all (4) tires with a different tire brand.
