Hello. Thank you in advance for any help. This is my first post.
I have been having fuel issues recently. 3 months ago purchased a 250 tank and 12v pump running off a deep cycle battery and charged by a solar panel.
I made this move specifically to run biodiesel(B20) from the local reputable supplier. Last week my new 2017 F550 6.7 with 2900 miles came back to my shop spraying fuel from a crack in the engine mounted fuel filter(OE part). I took the part to the dealership and they warrantied it no questions asked.
Today I pulled into the shop in my 2014 F250 6.7 with 86000 miles and it too was spraying fuel from a very similar crack in the Napa filter.
I have run biodiesel through my '14 6.7 many times and never had this issue prior to setting up my tank here at the shop so I'm going to lean towards blaming the additive that I have just now started using. I started putting Howes Diesel Treatment in my fuel 2 weeks ago. Is it fair to come to this conclusion or should I be looking for a different scapegoat?
I have also been running this mixture in my off road equipment with no strange issues. My '99 7.3 E350 sprung a leak after proactively draining the fuel bowl which I haven't located yet but I feel that it will be unrelated. Seems like everything always breaks at the same time!
