Compatibility Issues with Fuel Injection Pumps in Ford F-Series Trucks


American diesel fuel is different than European diesel ? who knew? ? and that difference may be causing headaches for some Ford truck owners. The problem is this: the fuel pump that comes standard in the 2011-2017 Ford F-250, F-350 or F-450 trucks was originally built for European cars and more importantly, European diesel, which is generally thicker and more viscous than American fuel. Bosch?s CP4 fuel injection pump is said to be struggling to lift enough fuel to lubricate itself, and as a result, the pump is running dry and allowing metal to rub against metal. If successful, a class action could help drivers get back some of the money they were forced to spend on repairs; drivers are reportedly shelling out anywhere between $8,000 and $20,000 after finding that their trucks shut off while in motion and/or were unable to be restarted. :shock:

PASSED ALONG F.Y.I. IS ALL.

    Not just Ford. sulfur out of fuel ruined the lubrication. Clean diesel kills any pump.

    This is why I will never own another diesel pickup, the operating costs have gone up and with having to add fuel additives it costs even more per mile to drive them. This PACCAR engine I have goes through 10 gallons every 2000 miles of DEF and I must add fuel treatment every fillup. Once a month I have to add $100 worth of treatment called Deep Clean because of all this emmissions BS that destroys engines.

    The exact reason I sold Big Red. I didn't want to but the maintenance costs were coming. My 6.2 gas 4x4 F250 will tow what I need to tow.

    will never own another diesel, maintenance cost far, far outweigh and advantage they may have, whatever that is.

    Why I'll never sell the 7.3
    Qt of synthetic 2-stroke oil every 3-4 months in the fuel tank has worked for almost 20 yrs [Mechanic suggested]
    300+ k Original injectors. Probably just jinxed myself :shock:
