How many miles since the last filter change?Did last 2 oil changes myself and didnt do fuel filter so over 25,000 miles. Thats Assuming dealership did fuel filter when they serviced it.So with the extended warranty that I think you were going to get on new rig would the problem be covered this time if you don't change the fuel filter as recommended or would you still be on the hook if you don't do the scheduled maintenance in a timely manner. I always do mine on time or within a hundred miles of schedule and have wondered if doing it outside of the schedule or not at all as in your case if it voids the coverage.If scheduled maintenance is not performed at proper interval, warranty coverage, factory or otherwise can be voided.I assume the "can" means that if I am close, like within 100 miles they would probably cover it. If I was say 5,000 miles or more past the scheduled interval they probably wouldn't.

I was slacking on changing filter - may have contributed to problem.
Update- My replacement Ecodiesel failed with similar fuel pump issue after 6 weeks - 4600 miles!! And NOT warrantees due to bad fuel they say! $6500 min and counting to repair. Note: Ecodiesel owners drain tank and put in fresh fuel before towing to dealer or they will deny your claim due to “bad fuel”. They have a bulletin spelling out the process its so frequent. Ecodiesel fuel pump issues that can run up to $13,000 plus are typically not warranteed !!!! Be forewarned.
If they’re saying bad fuel, I’d be asking for a fuel sample.
1st repair traded rig in for new one (dumb but was great rig otherwise). I asked for fuel sample - not saved. Have great case for reimbursement but how much will it cost to sue mfg, dealer, insurance co. and fuel co ? Unfortunately dealer said tank needs emptied and flushed, and you will be out $600 and on your way. Ok. Then they started finding all the fuel pump issues. Will be getting rid of it before driving it another mile.

Will be getting rid of it before driving it another mile. Fuel “separated” in their test. No other info. Of course Im in Colorado out of cell range during this and using Inreach to try to get rig ready for flying back to pickup for hunt with son in idaho. Less than ideal supervisory conditions.
