If the high pressure fuel pump failed, would it cause this? I really doubt that it is a stuck injector.
How is the engine oil level? Does it smell like gas?

There was no fuel on the ground. And I didn’t notice any dripping out of the tail pipe but I smelled lots. Unless the gauge was malfunctioning? Where would 10-15 gallons go?

It’s at the dealership. I’m going by in a bit. I’ll check

The description sounded to me like a faulty fuel pump, except for the smell. Pretty much everything I can think of fails to explain the smell of fuel while not seeing any dripping anywhere.

Anxious to hear what the dealer says.

Fuel is probably either in the oil, or soaking in the cat converters.

I went to have a look , the oil level seems like 1/2 quart high , i did have it changed saturday maybe the added a bit much. I should have turned the key on to see if the tank still showed empty.

Did the oil smell like gas?

Not really , but the engine compArtment still did so it was hard to know for sure. The oil looked normal.

I feel like Ford's quality control on these 3.5s is shit. These things either go 250,000+ miles or explode before the first 50,000 miles.

1st you accuse the OP of running a tune (did not pan out) and then you you accuse Ford of bad quality control. Let's see what's the shop says and then you can give your opinion.
