"We have completed our initial investigation into the Super Duty in Canada and have determined it was caused by an incorrect repair after the truck was produced. We are not aware of any other incidents and we are taking action to prevent this from happening in the future. In this unique case, the customer returned the affected truck and received a refund."

I wonder if some of the comments of the videos are true and someone filled the DEF tank with diesel. If diesel was getting injected into the SCR instead of DEF (which is mostly water), it would cause some flames out of the tail pipe. How someone can put diesel in that tiny little DEF filler tube, i have no idea.

Pre-regen trucks look more appealing all the time!

Looks like a regen gone wrong to me also.

WOW.. Dang, that's crazy

I don't see anywhere on the letter where it says that Ford Canada says it's not their problem. Only that they don't have a vehicle return policy. Policy is to repair under the terms of the factory warranty.

Not sure why whoever is having the problem couldn't understand that.. that's normal. But, okay.

That is crazy though.

Is that what happens if you run gasoline through a diesel engine?

[ib516]

1. Not my truck.

2. Sorry I don't know more details other than what showed up on my social media. I do not know the owner personally.

3. She hasn't shared what the dealer told them or what the problem is. It's a pretty recent post so maybe they are still working on it.

And, your insurance company. I'm sure they don't want you driving a flamethrower.

And have them meet you at the dealer's parking lot...if they won't allow
then out on the street in front of their dealership

Start it up and let it do it's thing...

Might make the national news...

It is obvious fuel is getting into the exhaust system but where is the fuel coming from? The engine sounds normal so not likely a stuck injector, I'm thinking someone put diesel in the DEF tank, is this a possibility?

[mabynack]

Wow. That's nuts. I wouldn't want to pull up to a gas station or park on grass with that going on.

What did the dealer say about this??...ooops, someone already asked.
That is quite the flame thrower!..Never saw anything like it!

Make sure the insurance is good and drive it until it melts.
