That is exactly correct of course it doesn't help the posters problem and I would hate to be in his shoes. We're having the same issue on the farm with the newer tractors being high-pressure common-rail years ago the old case would run with gas cutting diesel for winter time my father did every year. For now the only alternative would be check with your insurance company that they will cover such catastrophic failure and keep your receipts where you fill up. I try to fill up at the same place since I've owned the truck they take great care of the pumps, but of course this is not realistic when I'm traveling just keep your receipts and I listen for the fuel coming out of the pump if it's slow I stop and find another place of course that's not always a guarantee, but a little Common Sense filling up at a old Rundown gas station is a no no take care good luck

 

I agree 100%

This is also not the first time I've heard of people doing this.

 

What you need is a Ford diesel station and only fill up there. That way Ford has control over the fuel quality and then it would all be on Ford. Which is why that will never happen.

Did an additive cause the problem? Was it poor fuel at one point? Was it a defect?

We had one poster say that the dealer took apart the fuel system and left it exposed to the elements over the weekend before they came back and took pictures/inspected... Wouldn't you know it, surface rust was all over it.

I looked at the MSDS for Lucas and it doesn't contain any alcohols in it, so that part is good.

 

276,000 miles and no fuel problems. Many hundred's of thousands other suoerduty with high milage and still running around. Seem like an isolated and unfortunate situation.

 

I just started using it in my rig, I think i'll continue to run it. A buddy of mine who was a diesel mechanic runs the fuel treatment and has had no problems on his duramax no issues 100k
