What owners wrote
Corrosion of the fuel liner in ford lcf diesel trucks. Also in f350 and other diesel work trucks. The fuel liner corrodes clogging the fuel filter. It starves the engine of fuel causing it to stop running. It eventually ruins the fuel injection system. Repairs range from $1200 to $6000.
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.
