Well....a new development. Today I test the fuel pressure. I had assumed that because I had fuel at the TB that the pressure was fine. After doing some reading last night that said that might not be the case I decided to test it...6 psi. Not real happy about this since money is tight. Also looks like the truck isn't going to be back up and running for Saturday either.
On an 87, can I remove the bed and access the sending unit or will I have to drop the tank? From what I can see the unit sits pretty darn close to being under the cab. I really don't want to drop the tank with 3/4 of a tank of gas in it. I also don't want to have to replace the tank straps right now and spend more money.
