Mine went up to the twist in the stick in 60 miles after the dealer changed the oil and marked the stick!! That's when they changed the hpfp !!
Yeah in my case I definitely smelled fuel strongly every time I parked it. Not so noticeable in my old house with just a carport, but with a garage now it really reeked. I wasn't sure if it was associated with the fuel getting in my oil, but with the smell gone now I'm hoping they are connected. Might not be the case for everybody though.
So far so good but only about 250 miles so far. I would say the pump had to be the problem, as it went up so fast before the change. I'm just hoping it holds up and these hpfp,s we've had trouble with were just bad parts!!
My case is similar to yours. I can smell gas just walking by the front of the truck after I park in the garage and it's there for quite a while after.
I suspect the far right hand "Universal Averages" column in the Blackstone analysis is not applicable to Turbo Charged Direct Injection Engines like we have in our Rangers.Looks like it's time to change my plan.
my dealer is pretty easy to talk to so id be asking for a extended for sure!!andif they said no id want one specifically if I spun a bearing or such thing related to fuel in writing at least.
I did pick my truck up a couple days ago from the dealer. I asked about the results of the tests they claimed Ford required them to do before changing the HPFP, but they really didn't do anything of the sort, they just ordered a new HPFP and injectors and did the replacement. Truck had 32 miles put on it which I thought was high for a test drive? I asked them about warranty down the road after the Powertrain warranty expires and they gave me a strange look and said that would be up to Ford, but they doubted it.
Damn, I believe fuel dilution is about the only thing that could cause the high reading on the dipstick unless they overfilled it to begin with? Sounds like the HPFP may not have been the problem on yours? Did they replace the injectors also? I recently got mine back and they replaced both the injectors and the HPFP. I do not have enough miles, about 50, to see a difference yet. For comparing day to day, I check the dipstick after the truck has sat overnight in the same spot in my garage.
After talking to a mechanic friends, and doing some internet digging, it seems like it’s a common issue with direct injection engines. They call it “makin oil”. The real question Is, what percentage of fuel in your oil is acceptable without losing the necessary Clean, lube, cooling properties? 2%,6%,12%?? Idk, but I’m def worried about it. Maybe As a precaution we all just do early oil changes at 5k intervals??
Forgot to mention, but may be worth noting,
