update: ford had my truck for 9 days and i just got it back friday with a new fuel tank. they say the problem was a malformation of the opening where the lines enter the top of the tank. apparently water has been able to pass through this which has accounted for my fuel issue for the last couple years. they also wanted to replace the fuel pump because it had junk in it. i asked them to clean the pump and reinstall since i has been running well, limp mode notwithstanding....and also because it would have been another $500. i have put 150 miles on it without incident so far so i sincerely hope this was the problem because it's damn near got me ready to trade it in. i've got over 90k miles so this was not covered under warranty but i'm going to make a case to ford that i've dealt with this since before my warranty expired (backed up by old service invoices) and the shop was unable to determine until now. think i will have any luck? this last service was $1000.
