Hi there, had the same problem while driving in ROI. Didn't turn out to be the same thing though. Luckily I was in a town named Portumna on the North Tip/Galway border, the guy from the Ford dealer there had a quick look and then simply drained the fuel filter. The stuff that came out was "sticky", however, it worked and the motor ran fine. He told me to get the filter changed ASAP which I did and have had no further problems
