Nothing against the original poster...just throwing this out....how many people who buy these trucks for grocery getters (thus not really knowing enough about diesels to care what they put in them) will accidentally put good old #2 diesel through it and then expect Ford to pay if it screws it up? That should be interesting to track.
It does suck your new truck is already in the shop though...hope it is an easy fix.

Please remember with things that are mass produced and contain up above 10,000 peices, things will go wrong with a few of them. You might have a lemon, or you might 1 bad part.

At a truck stop this past weekend while i was filling up the F350(5.4) I looked over at the diesel pump and it had a sticker under it saying LOW SULFUR DIESEL, and that the use of LSD in 07 and up trucks is prohibited under federal law or something along those lines.
