Hey Thanks alot Offroad, I called my service manager here in SA and passed along the previous, asked him to look up on my sheet what my build date etc was. They have been very good so far about the whole thing. They were the ones who dissassembled everything and didn't just stop at the fuel pressure in the rail. I can't fault them so far cause it seems they want to get it right the frst time.
I did pass on the bit about the fuel tanks and even commented that Ford might be leary about admiting faulty fuel tanks with all the bad PR lately but I would apprecieate him calling and asking about replaceing all not just flushing. I also told him I appreciated all the hard work he was doing so far and that if any bad feelings did come out of this it would be towards Ford not him/dealership (sofar) sooo I hope the extra pressure cause them to replace all. Thanks again I copied that info to bring to them...
