Subject: FTE 97up - Re: Diesel Fuel Fill

Pumps for commercial trucks will flow a lot more fuel than those for
passenger vehicles. The fillers reflect this.
This is a problem Ford has come up against before, and has a retro-fit
package to fix it. Your dealer should know about it.
Bill

[davesomers] Perhaps someone out there can provide a part number for this.
A local parts counter didn't know about the two sizes of fills, let alone
a fix to it.

I noticed a "Warn" winch on a '99 F-250 SD SC 4X4 in a parking lot. It
looked great, very beefy, yet clean and stylish. It mounted onto where
the tow hooks were removed. After seeing this unit, I plan to install
one on my own truck.

Subject: Re: FTE 97up - Re: Diesel Fuel Fill

No, I never said that it was desireable. I said folks were doing it.
Remember, diesel is a lot more temperature sensitive than gasoline and cold
weather starting problems are often related to summer diesel in the tank. One
fix is cut it with kerosene to get it to flow.

Personally, I would not try a steady diet of kerosene in a diesel. Others may
have a different view. Just mine.

The above link covers the sulfur issue in diesel fuel.

On my '81 VW diesel, the owner's manual recommended
that at extremely cold temperatures, kerosene - and even
gasoline, may be mixed in with the diesel fuel to keep it from
gelling.

I would not use either in my PSD, especially not the gasoline.

Yes, mine did this from the start. I know that there are a few others
that have the same rumble.
It kind of feels like a bad U joint, but they seem tight. I did not
have the dealer take a look yet, since I am waiting for the new spring eye
bushings to come out, so I can correct my squeaky leaf springs.

Mike,

I personally do not own a Super Duty, however, my Boss owns 3 of them (F350
CrewCabs, 4X4, PSD, Dually). I drive all of these quite often (land fill
runs) and I notice a rumble similar to the one you are describing between
55-65 mph.....

Hope this helps,

Hey You have a 2000 model?

If so does it look any different than the 1999 250 model? And have you
had any transmision noises or differential problems?

I really want to get a 2000 250 when it is available in my area!

If you have picture that would be great!

Check your axle code on the sticker in the driver's door. 18 is a 3.08:1
open rear end, 19 is a 3.55:1 open rear end, H9 is a 3.55:1 limited slip
rear end (there is also a 3.31:1 and a 3.73:1 ratio but I don't know those

From: RICK KANE
Subject: FTE 97up - Re: Diesel Fuel Filler

NO NO NO!!! Do not use kerosene in a PSD in place of diesel. I asked
this question of the only friend I trust on the subject. His reply was
that high sulfur fuel provided lubrication for the injector pump and top
engine, much like lead did in gas. EPA mandated low sulfur fuel has
some additives to add lubrication (probably still not enough) and that
kerosene has nothing. It will work but causes lots of extra, expensive
wear in the engine. I don't know what an injector pump for a PSD costs,
but the replacement pump for my Chevy 6.5 diesel was around $2000.
Thank God it was under warranty! I like my new PSD too much to risk
abusing it.

I'm looking into trading my 98 f-150 reg cab 4.2 5 spd 3.55 pick up
in for a 99 f-150 sc 5.4 3.55 or 3.73 i want to get the 4x4, but i'm
being told that the 4x4 cannot tow or haul as much as the 4x2. why is this?
i would think that with stiffer suspension and the extra 4x4 stuff, it would
be able to tow as much or more and haul as much or more.

any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.
