PTC Solves Diesel Fuel Leak Issues in Ford 6.7L Super Duty Trucks

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating over 210,000 Ford Super Duty trucks (2015–2021) due to diesel fuel leaks and fire risks. The problem originates from the secondary fuel filter, which may fracture under high pressure and heat.

The OE Problem:

Many factory-installed and aftermarket filters use a standard black NBR O-ring. These O-rings can deteriorate in extreme heat or cold, becoming brittle and leading to fuel leaks. This may result in hard idle, engine stalling, or even dangerous thermal events.

The PTC Solution:

PTC Diesel Fuel Filters are engineered with premium HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) O-rings designed to withstand the toughest conditions and prevent leaks where others fail.

HNBR O-Ring Features:

  • Superior resistance to heat, oil, and chemicals
  • Long-lasting performance in extreme temperatures
  • Tighter seal for high-pressure fuel systems
