Once and for all time, the rust was on the mating surfaces in the pump. The water warning light never came on. Ford admitted to me that all diesel fuel has water. Ford also admitted their water separation/water warning system is not foolproof. They are also adamant that Ford will not pay for water in the fuel system problems.
The solenoid valve controller mounts into the HPFP...there are two surfaces...the mating surface which never sees fuel flow and the similar looking solenoid which is directly in the fuel stream...was the business end of this valve showing rust...if so, water sat in the pump...if not...you got really got screwed by Ford...
Troy is right about the dishonest by choice or dishonest by ignorance of diagnostics Ford dealers. The very part that was used to deny my warranty was the second parts throwing replacement attempt by the crooked dealer to fix the problem...that's when the trouble started...two repairs...no success and no warranty reimbursement to the crooked dealer...
Now before the Blue Koolaid Bunch jumps in here with the same BS as always: it was the dealer that screwed you not FOMOCO, Ford was the ultimate arbiter...and they failed to take care of the very person that keeps them in business "The Customer"...and the Shameful Behavior continues...
