What owners wrote
TSB 19728 - we own a limousine party coach on a 2006 ford f-550 chassis and had the pleasure of experience the "fuel tank deterioration" and having a total of 16 fuel injectors and 4 gas tanks replaced in a one year period. Ford refuses to acknowledge that this is a defect in the fuel tank. There are hundreds of people experiencing the same problem throughout the country.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f550. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and would not accelerate over 40 MPH. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the fuel filter, injectors and fuel pump were clogged because of delamination inside the fuel tank. The dealer stated that the vehicle was no longer under warranty and they could offer no assistance with the repair costs. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.
