Strange accident

Found this on PSN, a strange accident.....Really wierd.....There are photos to, it burnt to a crisp.

2011 Powerstroke R.I.P.
<HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #d1d1e1; COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->I believe this might have been titled "Extra Crispy or Original recipe"! I'm working on getting more details right now about this but here goes. My friends truck (whom ordered his truck with me when I ordered mine) burned severly on the interstate tonight. This is the where the plot thickens. This truck has ran almost 20k trouble free miles and has gotten incredible fuel mileage and seemed to be a very strong running truck. Would run circles around my truck. Approx 3 weeks ago (around June 15) on a trip hauling a 16ft trailer with 6 motorcycles (not a very heavy load) in it there was some sort of fueling problem about 200 miles into the trip. Sorry I don't know the exact details of the "Fueling" problem but he was told to not drive the truck because it would basicall overfuel and wash down the cylinders possible causing an engine failure. The truck was left at a Ford dealership in Kenesaw Georgia and after a couple weeks and a bunch of complaining to Ford the truck was ready to pick up. Supposedly the level of the repair required cab removal. What type of repair to the fuel system would require that? The dealership has provided virtually no information related to the repairs or how they were executed. Picked the truck up today and went 50 or so miles and was leaking diesel from somwhere and the truck wasn't running well. Took the truck back the the same dealership and it was checked over again and was decided that the fuel inside the engine compartment was leftover from being worked on and not a leak. The truck made it within 10 miles of home (Nashville Tn Area about 200 miles or so) and without warning the truck burst into flames. The driver reported the flames burst from the dash area into the cab of the truck. He luckily was in the far right hand lane and was able to get the truck to the side of the interstate and get out without getting ran over or more seriously burned. I'm attaching pics of this truck. It makes me sick to know how this was handled by the Ford dealer and being the person who twisted my friends arm into buying the truck I feel bad. Anyone heard of anything remotely similar to this? I'll add more info as it comes available. I apologise for not having all the details because I know the more info I have available the more info I could get from you guys.

You'll have to register.
It's a 2011 SuperCab.
That was one hot fire.
I would blame the dealer for screwing something up; not FoMoCo.

For him to have gotten burned like the poster stated, that fireball must have been really hot and fueled in order for it to be sucked into the air intake and burn him so quickly.

Wow, thanks for posting the pics.

In the end, a lot of stuff produced in the world economy and occasionally bad stuff happens.

Hope the guy is ok.
