2002 Ford Excursion Tank sock *Help Appreciated*
Twice now my longtime Ford excursion has left me on the side of the road. I Left Daytona Beach heading to Tampa towing a 7k lb trailer at about the 160 mile mark it started losing power and skipping. I had towed back to Daytona where it started running fine again before diag so my mechanic replaced the ICP sensor ( I cant remember the code) but he mentioned low fuel rail pressure code..8 Motorcraft injectors were installed 8k miles prior.
2nd break down..Last week I left Daytona towing the same trailer and got to almost the same location and it happened again, power loss/chugging under power. This time I had towed to local Dealer "Gator Ford" They called and said the tank sock was most likely clogged...they said they need to clean the tank and sock..right at $980.00. (Auto Nation quoted me 1500) I am hopeful this fixed it but I am nervous to pu and take on another trip (I hate breaking down) especially on I4.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
Thanks

The in tank filter screens are a common failure for these trucks. Most people end up deleting them and redoing the fuel pick-up. It's referred to as the Hutch Mod. Oh, btw there are no fuel rail pressure codes of any kind for these engines. The PCM actually has no means of monitoring any part of the fuel system other than fuel pump on or not.

I have this sitting inside my tank and it has worked very very well.

I stop stuff from getting into the pump in the first place with the WIX 33972. Most people never need to change this filter. It’s really just an ‘oh crap, I put nasty fuel in the tank’ option to dropping the tank.
I’ve used the RACOR PS120 as an option for cab chassis trucks (steel tanks) that had failing liners because of its massive dirt-holding capacity and the fact it is cleanable/reusable.
