What owners wrote
I have a 2005 f250 diesel truck. I was driving on I-95 when I noticed flames coming from behind my cab. I quickly pulled off to the shoulder and tried to extinguish the fire but it was to late. The fire burned the truck completely.
My f250 super duty truck stalls while driving, specially after turning corner. All 3 times the complete fuel injector assembly was replaced , 5/15/07, 12/15/07 & 8/15/07. Had fuel tank cleaned and found rust remains in bottom of fuel tank. The computer and wire harness had to be replaced 12/15/07. Fuel tank rusts from inside and blocks fuel line from fuel tank and water separator and consequently starves injectors from fuel which is why they burn up.
