Ford SERVICE BULLETIN #19728 they had a problem with F350-450-550 with the Fuel tanks delaminating after about 100,000 miles--- not sure if they will cover any repairs but in 2010 they knew they had problems--FED 387

not sure if that is a valid # TSB but ford definitely had problems and many have replaced the METAL fuel tank with a PLASTIC tank that has eliminated the situation

Dave,

I had never had a problem with it before, although I thought it was a bit down on power. For this trip, we had been close to 300 miles, and just came out of stop-and-go traffic, when we were climbing a small grade, getting back up to speed and it wouldn't go over 60 mph or shift into high gear. It had a high frequency shake to it. After we drained the water, we ran close to 500 miles before I thought I could just detect a small shake on the longer hills. We then ran over 50 miles before it started acting up strongly again.

This time, it wouldn't go away, although after we towed the van home, with the front end raised up on a fairly steep angle, and no suction on the pickup, it ran like a top. I suspect that some of the debris was shaken out of the pickup on the trip.

Does anyone know if the fuel tanks in the Excursions is also suspect? I have a 2000 with 7.3 and a 2004 with 6.0 both right around 150,000 miles no issues yet just wondering if I should get ready.
