I'm sure there are aftermarket tanks, but the Ford ones are usually the best. Also doing the scheduled maintainence helps.....I'm not saying he doesn't maintain it or anything.
They have a coating on the inside that comes off and clogs the fuel filter. It's broke down on the road and been towed twice due to this.
The guy claims they don't make any aftermarket gas tanks that elliminate this issue. Have you heard of this? Do you know of any ways to correct this issue?
when I was at Ford......we saw this a lot, usually from the middle eastern guys using the discount diesel fuel that is crap
