Fuel/Propulsion System · at 75,000 miles · reported Feb 9, 2016
My lcf dump truck began idling a bit irradically. Driving the truck at about 40 MPH it began to sputter and lose power, until the engine turned off completely leaving me stranded on the road. I opened up the primary fuel filter and found it to be caked with a silver metallic material. I put in a new filter and was able to get the truck home, but the engine was not running as it should. I researched the issue online and found a lot of diesel ford truck owners were experiencing the same problem, and it was because the fuel tanks were delaminating and getting sucked through the fuel system.
