LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Looks like we have a new issue. We have come across a couple of LCF's with fuel tanks rusting out on the inside. I have heard that the inside is supposed to be aluminized. Has anybody come across this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGM Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've heard of bio diesel de-laminating some tanks allowing them to rust... Maybe their using bio?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 No B/D involved, these tanks had no coating whatsoever inside. Per Blue Diamond there is supposed to only be a few that made it out of the plant without the aluminized coating, but I don't believe it.

Bruce Amacker Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 There was a problem at IH in March '02 (I think) where the supplier of NGV fuel tanks supposedly left a bunch out in the weather and they rusted internally. This resulted in repeat injector failures on those trucks, with most getting new tanks. Keep an eye out for injector problems... Good Luck!
