stranded

Came to Sioux Falls yesterday to pick up a puppy....stopped at Sheels to shop for a couple hours....got in the truck...low fuel pressure alert comes up....drove 3blocks and the truck shuts off.......hauled it or Sioux Falls Ford....they replaced both fuel filters....no go....they replaced the low fuel pressure pump and still pumps foam......any ideas.....
By the way, this is the best, friendliest, most helpful bunch of guys I've ever dealt with!

Sounds like it's getting air in the fuel maybe? The foaming part is what's telling me this... I hope you're still under warranty as this could get a bit expensive to repair.

Sorry to hear that you are stranded, I am no help, but I agree it is getting air from somewhere. Hope they get you on the road tomorrow.

she is great when you think the dealer isn't focused enough.. but sounds like you have their attention. Do you think they have asked for technical support? if not, then she might be able to help there..

almost sounds like the pickup tube has a leak.. how much fuel is in the tank?
I searched the forums, I remember someone else having this kind of problem that turned out to be not enough fuel in the tank, cause the gauge read wrong. I can't find it now tho..

I think they should try to call the tech hotline for ideas.


They may need to drop the tank and have a look inside at the pickup.


How much fuel is in the truck.


does a steady stream come out of the fuel/water separator?


did they manually do a fuel pressure test?
