What owners report
My f-550 super duty diesel dump truck lost power on the highway because of a known fuel injector pump defect. The pump exploded into metal pieces that clogged all fuel lines leading to a loss of power on a highway putting everybody at risk of a collision. This fuel injector problem is known to ford and is subject to class action lawsuits. The dealer confirms that this is the problem. Apparently for the last decade, this pump has been known to fail because it was designed for European diesel not American diesel which because of the low sulfur content makes the pump cavitate because of lack of lubrication and explode. There was no indication of failure prior to the incident.
Operator was driving the vehicle when it experienced a fire in the engine compartment.
This submission is more related to a brand-new fuel line that was purchased from the Ford dealer for this vehicle upon failure of the existing line. When the new line was removed from the packaging, the mechanic inspected the clip that secures the line to the secondary fuel filter housing. It was observed that the brand-new clip was defective and that even the slightest touch of the clip would unlock the line. It is believed that if this line were installed in the vehicle, the vibration of the engine could potentially unclip the line causing fuel to spray in the hot engine compartment. The line was retained and can be provided for examination.
The truck was traveling west on [XXX] towards Stockton when the instrument panel illuminated with a âLow Fuel Pressureâ warning and the coworker (CW) immediately pulled over. Once on the side of the road, the CW confirmed the truck was leaking fuel and the local garage was contacted. It was found that a line running to the secondary fuel filter had come loose and was leaking from the fitting. The securement clip on the line was inspected, and it is believed the clip on the line is defective. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
