Ford Techs--7.3 Ford super duty Diesel smell

2Ton71 · 06-17-2008, 08:57 PM

A friend of mine said something about the new low sulfur fuel causing seals to fail around the injector pump and some other places. May want to check there. I put 6oz of Lucas Fuel Treatment in the truck when I fill up and I haven't had any problems.

I have a 2000 F250, 2wd 6speed with a 7.3. I get about 14.5-15mpg hauling a 4000lb car on an open trailer, and a small load in the bed. It has 192,000 miles on it. Still purrs like a kitten. Great trucks!
