Thats right on Jon, but why do these dealerships think they are the offroad fuel police?!?!

dont know
 

I really cant answer that. I dont get excited about stuff unless it was part of the problem.

Liability. They're nervous...that's pretty much it really.

That still doesn't make sense to me... how are they liable to the police? Do they call the police if you have a broken taillamp or headlamp? No...

so why would they feel the need to call about dyed fuel?? doesn't make sense to me and quite frankly I'd be finding a new dealership.

They wouldn't call the Police,but the DMV.
The DMV are the one's that inforce the fuel laws and if you are caught running off road fuel in a highway use vehicle it is a STEAP penalty.
It's all about the highway taxes buddy:booo:

No one undrestand what I'm saying

Its a CAR DEALERSHIP - They are NOT the state or any government agency. They have NO reason to report ANYTHING to the police/dmv. I still don't see how it makes it their deal or what gives them the authority to tattle. It is NOT their place and they ALL should butt out.

I am an insurance adjuster - but do you think I call in a car for having busted taillamps sinec that is against the law? Hell no - its not my business.

No but since you're an insurance adjuster the least ya could do is write them a check for a replacement. :poak: lol

I think it's pretty simple. From what I've been reading (i.e. internet hearsay) Ford is trying everything they can to get out of covering the warranty problems on the 6.0. They're looking for any reason to try and deny coverage and this is just one more thing.

Face it, you're running red fuel and the legality of it is questionable. Ford's betting that you won't raise a stink or go to higher ups, police, lawyers, etc. because you don't want it getting out that you're running red fuel.

What costs more? Fixing the truck or paying the potential fines for running red fuel?

It's up to you if you want to call their bluff. If you can know 100% that you're legal to run red then go after them.

Nervous
 

Um.....OK

Nobody but us techs even know if the truck has a tuner on it. So in all reality if the tech knows how to handle it and keep an engineer out of there for big claims and the sm out for anything else its up to us techs to say its not stock.

If you think for a second that for every tech out there who knows how to milk the Powerstroke Diagnostic Sheet for hella good warranty diesel diag pay that there isn't another idiot flat-rater who wants every penny of customer pay work he can get and won't rat out anybody under the sun to get it, you haven't been a dealer tech for very long then...

how long ago did you use the off road fuel? Around me all the off road is ulsd now.
try a diffrent dealership, friend of mine got his warranty red flaged for oversized exaust claming it caused his headgaskets to go on his 6.0, two dealerships later problem fixed
