Can someone enlighten me? Have a 2007 Diesel, 3000 miles, and the dealer says the fuel system needs to be replaced because of "Bad Fuel". Of course it isn't covered under warranty. (Repair estimate is $18,000) Just got an email further explaining that the fuel had water in it. I am getting samples from Valero where I got the fuel and the truck to get tested.
My question is: What does the fuel filter do? Are there any detectors, etc on the fuel system? Seems like there should be some safety nets out there if it's such an expensive problem, and I can't get much information from the dealer. They are treating it like this happens all the time and I'm just over reacting, like I'm just supposed to write them a check. Does anybody have any ideas on how to proceed? I've never heard of something like this.
