    Water flow from holding tank appears to come and go

    How is the suction line terminated in the bottom of the fresh water tank? Bottom weighted water hose with no check valve? How big a deal is it to drop the tank and replumb the system? Regards

    Ford 6.7L HPFP failures w/o warranty

    You do not know me...and I do not know you...but the rejection of my Ford HPFP repair under warranty is the gospel truth...and yes, the bill was $10,030.00. If you do not believe this, then you are not up to speed what happens when the HPFP self destructs. It grinds away until it fails but fills...

    Ford 6.7L HPFP failures w/o warranty

    ...and you would lose...BTDT...I went all the way up the ladder at Ford to the Dearborn Executive offices...Ford has taken a very hard line with any HPFP failures.

    Ford 6.7L HPFP failures w/o warranty

    Fuel additive

    The fuel additive used to help the fragile HPFP in the Ford 6.7 is PM-22A. It is not just a Cetane enhancer but adds lubricity. It is available in a few quantity sizes. I buy the gallon size to keep the cost lower. the part number is PM-22A GAL. Your dealer may try to tell you it does not exist...

    Ford 6.7L HPFP failures w/o warranty

    Duane I can not begin to express how much I feel vindicated by this announcement from VW. I was told by my neighbor that something was in the works with the Bosch CP4.X series pumps.

    Ford 6.7L HPFP failures w/o warranty

    Ford 6.7 - Biodeisel/MPG
