Complaint Summary
FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
Owner Narrative
WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK LAST WEEK IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND VIOLENTLY SHAKING. IT WOULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 30MPH ON 95. WE FOUND THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS CLOGGED. WE THEN REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND FOUND WHAT LOOKED TO BE SILVER PAINT CHIPS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE LINING OF THE TANK IS DELAMINATING. THIS HAS CLOGGED THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE TANK BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THE NEW TANK WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER ACCOUNTS OF THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND THE REPAIRS TO THIS POINT WILL COST ME ABOUT 1000 DOLLARS. *TR
