PSD X Wouldnt Start.

Just for an FYI. I had my X plugged in....warmed it for 10 mins. Took the kids to the bus stop. Waited there for 10 mins, then headed off to work. About a 1/2 mile away the truck started to feel like it was losing power. I quickly turned around and got it home in time before it stalled.

I thought the fuel had gelled or got bad fuel. (I didnt want to pay Fords rates to tell me this.) I set up heaters under the truck and a light bulb under the hood as well as changed the fuel filter. I got it running, it ran for 50 minutes or so. I Thought the problem was solved. Topped off the fuel tank after adding additive and brought it home. It died 10 minutes later. Since i reached my witts end i called Ford at this point. Turned out the fuel pump in the tank was bad. Thank God for warranties!

Just thought i would send this out for an informational post in the event someone else is banging their head against a wall.

I will post in the X as well.
