Is it possible to accumulate build dates for the HPFB failures on the various forums to determine if the failures are confined to specific dates ? Perhaps Ford/Bosch have implemented running design changes and the public would never know without tracking a lack of failures.
Just for information. On gasoline engines the fuel membrane will suck fuel in preference to water until the entire surface area is exposed to water. When only water is left the engine will starve of fuel and shut down. This was tested for in tank fuel socks on fuel sender pick ups. Do not know if this is true for diesels.
How prevalent is water in fuel? I for one have never ( knock wood ) had a drop of water in 106,000 miles from diesel fuel purchased all over the USA/Canada including Alaska?
I do not have a 6.7. I have a 6.0 04 F350. But I find this whole HPFB failure event rather interesting, fortunately only from an engineering view point.
