On The Edge of Insanity Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 My 08 Edge with 29,000 miles needs a new fuel pump and tank according to Ford. The dealer says that something was poured into the tank. Not covered under warrenty of course. Im finding it hard to believe that someone commited a random act of vandalism against my Edge. We are very careful about where we park. Anyone else have fuel pump issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 only fuel pump issues I have read here are whining noise on some fuel pumps motors. you should ask what this "something" is and how they determined it. And, how did this something only damage the tank and pump, but not fuel lines and engine. Tell them that if they have to do this, you expect to see the fuel filter also, which will be in the tank. Whatever it is that can damage the tank and pump to the point of removal should also be seen in the filter... and be all inside the fuel lines and affected the engine I would say.

On The Edge of Insanity Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just curious, but what was the concern you brought it in to the dealership for? Cruise on at 70mph and it just quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcitng Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 That is what happened to my old truck in December. I was pulling into a parking lot and it died. Fuel pumps don't break down slowly. In hindsight I had just an inkling of warning earlier in the trip, a hesitation that startled me but did not concern me, truck was 8 years old. It did all kinds of interesting things. I have to agree that if someone put something in there it would have taken out more than the fuel pump. I would argue that.
