low fuel pressure

My 2015 has been at the dealer for 2 weeks with a low fuel pressure problem. they first thought it was water in the fuel filters, so the replaced both filters. Drove it for about 10 miles and the same thing happened, could only go about 4 mph, had it towed back to the dealer they replaced the fuel pump in the tank, and this still hasn't. fixed the problem. any ides I understand there is a high pressure pump also could this be the problem

Thank for any help

So they replaced the DFCM (diesel fuel conditioning module; aka primary pump/fuel filter/water separator) on the driver's side frame then?

If so, sure could be the HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) under the hood. How many miles? Any codes? You get a bad batch of fuel recently?

the dealership has tools to measure expected vs actual lift pump pressure and expected vs actual high pressure at the engine bay fuel pump.

if you want to dive into this..you can use forscan to get the data.

there have been cases of bad pressure sensors so its not always a pump problem. there have also been bad connection problems.

Dealer called me today said they contacted Ford and they said to flush the tank that the original fuel pump probably left some junk in the tank, They said it is OK now I hope so,

So they flushed the tank and it's good to go? May require another filter change then also if that's the case.
