Texas Dept of Agriculture governs the fuel dispenser METER, not fuel quality.

 

True! I still think we need to lobby for a higher quality fuel. At least Canada's specs for down here in the US.

Side note: I have a friend whose brother in law used to buy fuel, refine out the excess lubricants, resell the fuel. Then sell the lubricants. Sounds very shady to me.

 

Sorry if you guys thought i'd have pictures of my filter alarm, got sidetracked last night.

I always have projects like this on the go.

 

Is the 6.7 powerstroke one of a kind? As in compared to the 6.7 Cummings, 6.6 duramax, or even the 6.4 powerstroke. They all burn the same fuel. What prevents them from failing? Seems like no matter how you add it up, there will always be a little water in your tank. It's called condensation.lol any time a rise and fall in temps occur, moisture is drawn. Even just the humidity over time will accumulate. I have no dealings with the 6.7 so there is alot i dont understand, but the one thing that sticks out to me is the need for additive or some sort of lubrication.

 

buy quality fuel and ad pm22 and drive it like u stole u will be fine

 

Till your the one going thru this hpfp failure!

 

It's not the HPFP failure thats devastating and making a big issue, it's the aftermath.

All trucks until now have had fuel system failures, this is unique in that it takes out the entire system and causes major damage, and also ford is being a grinch about warranty.

 

If I do I guarntee Ford will pay for the repair or they can buy it back

 

 

the problem is so few and far that most of the dealerships havent even heard of the problem

 

Rickatic knows that battle first hand.

"Wiebe is also open to experimenting with the probe detecting water in diesel fuel....." I have had my share of electronics projects and don't have time to play anymore; but, perhaps this is something you could capitalize on?

above detects as low as 100ppm water

$10/kit is more than I would be willing to add to my fueling costs.

Not to stir up other issues into an already flavorful topic;

Dealership's "never hearing about it" is something i consider a lame excuse. It goes along with "We called ford, and they never heard of any similar issue."

I can't speak for everyones eperience, but I remember several years ago, a friend of mine took his 6.0 L 350 in cause the EGR malfunctioned and the intake was oiled and sooty, and they replaced almost everything except the engine itself. They're recurring comment was:

"Geez, I can't imagine what you did to this truck, we've never seen any problems with this engine compared to other engines, oh well, at least we took care of you."

And when he asked if they had any other 6.0 l trucks in for repairs, and if so, what type? :

"Oh no, ford really got it right with this engine, it's a keeper. We haven't had any issues with it at all. "




And I'm one of the few that believes the 6.0 engine isn't nearly as bad as some think.

 

Besides oil leaks I would of kept my 6.0l but o love my 6.7l more lol

 

The statement is so bold I thought maybe the poster was a Ford dealership service dept employee or a tech who thought he had an in. If there is one thing that can be guaranteed about the failures of Ford 6.7 HPFP is that there is no certainty of a warranty repair. If the poster knew the facts of my denial, and how many high level Ford employee's including the 6.7 design engineer were involved in the efforts to get Ford to do the right thing, he would have never posted such a statement

Regards

 

If ford treated me like that you wouldn't ever see another ford in my driveway.


Are these the guys that build ford engines?
