Re: [Diesel-RVs] Re: ultra low sulfur fuel in 2008 ford f-250

Just a curious question --- everyone is talking about a gasket failure and that leads to a failure of the lift pump -- I presume because the leak is not allowing enough pressure to be on the pump and that results in inadequate lubrication of the pump --- hence the failure of the pump. Time to educate me -- is it not possible to just go in and replace this gasket prior to the leadup to the failure of the pump? I would think that the gasket would be a far less expensive way to go -- I know that it may be hard to access the lift pump but, ----------------------- thoughts from everyone on this.

Appreciate any help from this knowledgeable group.
