This leak fills the cab of the vehicle with exhaust fumes. It is also leaking pre-catalyst exhaust. The fuels in the cab are a serious safety issue and well as an emissions issue.

While driving on the highway the engine shut off. Upon inspection, fuse #27 burned out instead of blowing. This fuse controls the fuel pump, and when it burned up the fuel pump lost power at highway speed. Upon research it is a very common problem with the 2009-2014 year models and ford issued a tsb but not a recall. I hadn't known about this when purchasing the truck used, and it is a very serious safety issue.
