This is a selective excerpt from the Spring, 2006 PAB (Police Advisory Board) meeting:
"Fuel pump issues remain with the 2003 to 2005 model year CVPIs. Ford Engineering is continuing its investigation...."
"Still being investigated are plugged fuel pumps from contaminations in the gas tank. In some cases, the contaminants come from the fuel itself as they precipitate out of the gasoline in what is essentially a form of refining that takes place in the tank. Fuel pumps that run hotter may cause this precipitation. Fuel pumps on a near-empty tank run hotter than a fuel pump surrounded by more fuel."
