I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING POWER FAILURE, FUEL STARVATION ON MY 2001 F550 DIESEL TRUCK. I REPLACED THE FILTERS TODAY AT THE ONSET OF THE INCIDENT, BUT JUST REPLACED THEM ABOUT A MONTH AGO WITH MY MECHANIC. IT RUNS FINE ON LEVEL GROUND, BUT AT AN INCLINE IT LOSES POWER AND BARELY MAKES IT UP A HILL. I REMOVED THE TANK PUMP FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK AND LOOKED IN TO IT WITH A FLASHLIGHT. THE LINING OF MY TANK IS PEELING OFF. AFTER INVESTIGATING ONLINE, I FIND THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH FORD. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I RUN A SMALL BUSINESS, AND RELY ON THIS ONLY TRUCK TO SUPPORT MY FAMILY OF 7 KIDS, WIFE AND MOTHER. I HAVE PUT 3 TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS VEHICLE IN ITS 110,000 MILE LIFETIME, AND NOW THIS. *TR
