Wygate,

I have been reading this thread from the beginning and sympathizing with you in this bad luck situation up to the point where you made a sharp left turn and began blaming Chrysler/Dodge and demanding a free extreme service fuel filtration system. I consider that unreasonable.

There is no reasonable way that Dodge can be responsible for what happened to your truck and I believe you are completely wrong in expecting Dodge to provide remedy. You filled your truck's fuel tank with dirty water. If you know where and from whom you bought muddy water you should hold that fuel retailer accountable, make your public criticisms about that station, and make demands for that station to provide remedy, not Dodge.

Dodge cannot equip our trucks with systems to prevent any unfortunate or dumb thing an owner can do to his truck. It is fairly common for owners or station attendants to pump a tank full of gasoline into a diesel pickup. The owner never realizes his error until the engine runs terrible, becomes extremely noisy, or shuts down. A friend of mine had that happen. Is Dodge responsible?

How about if someone dumps sand or sugar in another person's tank. Should Dodge prevent that? Of course not.

I regret that you had that problem but it is your misfortune and yours to solve, not Dodge. The new filtration system Dodge has just made available is clearly labeled as intended for extremely dirty operating environment like farming and oilfield use where the trucks are operated extensively on dirt roads.

Thank you for your service to our nation. I am retired Navy and appreciate what you are doing.
