1970 Ford F-100 Question.

[Original67]

Okay by my signature and my build thread you all have seen I got a a a ........ yea its hard to say it. A Ferd. It's a 1970 LWB PS, PB, AC, Super Custom with a Big Block in it. I believe its a 390 but have been told its a 360. ummm not for sure. Here is the issue. Supposely when the truck gets to below a 1/4 tank it will just die. Ramdomly die. Only at or below a 1/4 tank. Had a couple of thoughts about this so I will put them out here. And before Travis or John says something about it "No keeping the truck above 1/4 tank is not the answer to this problem"

Thoughts:

1st Water/oily solution that is riding on top of the gas when the tank gets low it is able to slosh (SP) into the fuel pickup.

2nd Fuel line- when it gets low it is pulling enough of a vacuum to compress the line causing it to shut off. (Truck refires after sitting for a few minutes)

3rd Inner liner in the tank. I can not recall if these trucks had an inner liner in them.

4th (I know this will be the most common answer) Its a ford for a reason. Its suppose to be Found On Road Dead.

Okay everyone have fun tossing stones at this one.
