In this instance i dont blame ford, not sure if they make the fuel tanks or an outside manufacture but the tank worked fine on the fuel that was used in 2004 when the truck was made. I dont know where to go with this one, i have a 04 F450 dump with 40 gallon rear mounted metal tank. I use this truck to practaclly run my business, it tows all my equipment and hauls material everyday. It started to run rough and bad starts/ blows blue smoke. etc. I changed both fuel filters and found gray flakes in both filters and now with good fuel pressure it runs like crap. So because the government changed fuel that is not compatiable with my tank i now have a bad fuel tank, containated fuel system, and most likely dropped a few fuel injectors causing my loss of power and bad starts.

The link that Zmann posted mentions a cheap fix - don't know how good it is, but it is worth looking at.
