I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I HEARD A LARGE BANG. I STOPPED AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING UNTIL I STOPPED FOR GAS. GAS WAS LEAKING OUT THE FILL HOSE AND I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND THE GAS TANK STRAP HAD BROKE AND THE TANK WAS VERILY HANGING ON. I PURCHASED TWO STRAPS TO HOLD THE TANK IN PLACE UNTIL I COULD GET TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT FORD RECALLED THE 150 AND 250 MODELS FOR. LUCKILY FOR ME THE TANK DID NOT RUPTURE AND CATCH FIRE. THE 350 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

I WAS INQUIRING ABOUT THE DELAMINATION OF FORDS FUEL TANKS ON THEIR F-SERIES DIESELS. I OWN A 2000 F350 7.3L DIESEL. LAST WEEK IT BEGAN TO RUN AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING FUEL SO I STOPPED INTO A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEIR DIAGNOSES WAS THE FUEL TANK ON MY F350 STARTED TO DELAMINATE AND CLOG THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW AND HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND UP-KEEP AS REQUIRED I HAVEN'T HAD ANY TROUBLE UNTIL AFTER THE FUEL COMPANIES STARTED TO CHANGE THE DIESEL FUEL. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED LAST WEEK BY A FORD DEALER IN MY AREA AND IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $3600 TO REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS, "IS THERE GOING TO BE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS?" I HAVE FOUND A BLOG FROM MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE. SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS NOT THE CONSUMER OR FORD, UNLESS THEY NEW THIS WOULD BE A PROBLEM AND CONTINUED TO PUT METAL TANKS IN INSTEAD OF PLASTIC. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A REPLY. *TR
