Yeah, on injection pumps, any evidence of rust in the system is automatic denial of warranty. It's the owner's responsibility to keep the fuel clean. A while back, we had a customer bring in their 6 month old truck with low miles for a "warranty" wiring harness repair. A rodent chewed through the battery cable insulation and a bunch of pcm wiring. They expected us to cover it. well, you can guess how that went. What a lot of people don't realize is how many of these incidents are covered under comprehensive insurance policies. We tell customers to be straight up with their insurance, and explain it was a simple mistake when they grabbed the green bp fuel nozzle, and filled their truck up with gas, thinking it was diesel, or their wife, who never filled up the def before thought it went into the fuel tank. If any of you get in a situation like those, you can expect your insurance just might cover it. One of the craziest ones we had was a brand new lincoln an old guy bought, and parked in his garage for the winter. Only 500 miles on the thing, and when he went to start it 2 months after parking it, it would die after like 3 seconds. come to find out, some little critter filled the entire muffler with dog food. When the car was first started, it basically melted it into a solid mass, completely plugging off the exhaust. Good luck getting that warrantied, but a lot of insurance policies will take care of it.
