| The lining of the fuel tank has been flaking off into my fuel lines, which is restricting my fuel filters. because of the lack of fuel, 2 fuel injectors went bad and had to be replaced. and the turbo was over compensating for the lack of power, due to fuel shortage, so the turbo had to be replaced as well. now that we have found the source of the problem, the fuel tank and fuel pump has to be replaced as too. into this for $5000 already without replacing the tank and pump. need some help. *tr | |||
