Perhaps what is needed in the interm is an additive that can be added at each fill up that regardless of the existing fuel quality can bring at least that treated tank up to a level of lubricity that can protect the injection system (maybe there is one currently available that would provide this). What are the alternatives? Increase the quality of diesel fuel in the U.S? Thats not going to happen soon enough to help if it ever could happen. Bosch may alter their pumps to accomondate the poor fuel but not before many more fuel systems go down. If you could ensure a 400 scar type fuel lubricity with each fill up, this situation could be much better managed. What would be even better is if you could get Bosch to provide expertise and support of the product (which I doubt they would do).
IF the problem is just lubricity, then the proper lubricity additive might do the trick.
But we don't know that yet.
And, there is a huge issue of introducing additional variables.
Plus warranty coverage.
That is why only Ford branded and approved for the 6.7 additives should be used until we know more.
