A few weeks ago I noticed my DTE going down quickly. I had about 80 miles DTE and within 10 minutes and 2 miles of driving the low fuel light came on. I stopped to fill up. While it should've been about 13-14 gallons at that level, only 10gal were needed to fill up. When I turned the vehicle back on the fuel gauge stayed below 1/4 tank and kept going down to near nothing and 4mi DTE. I took it out for another drive around the block and on a small trail off road and the needle started to come up.

Added a bottle of techron in case there was something dirty in the tank.

Got through that tank of gas and the same thing happened again after filling up when around 1/4 tank. Added another bottle of techron and back over some bumps and it started working again.

Then drove 2500 miles from Texas to Colorado and back, then another 500 miles in Texas. I haven't let it get below 1/4 tank until Monday when I'd just hit 1/4 tank and on fill up the same thing happened.

Brought to dealership yesterday and they've diagnosed it again today as a bad fuel pump.

Backordered part with no ETA 🤬🤬🤬

@bgautrea , glad you finally got a tech with the skills & determination to look into it until he found what was going on, vice what seemed to be techs just firing the parts cannon at it previously.

Is there anything that we as the consumer can do about these faulty fuel pumps on the 2.7. I am on my 3rd Fuel Pump as well. I've filed a complaint with NHTSA as my wife was turning left through an intersection when the engine quite, at this point its has to be a public safety concern?

Is the fuel pump different between the 2.3 and 2.7?

That’s not common at all. Even this original post wasn’t actually another fuel pump, it was just just a sending unit issue.

Whatever problem Ford had with the fuel pump has already been fixed.
So to have 3 fail is very suspicious.

Happened to me 2 years ago. 2021 2dr MT 2.3L got stranded on I35W. Was in a rental for 6 weeks waiting for the backordered part. Fingers crossed, I haven't had issues since.
