Re: Gas Delivery Problem

Guys, thanks. Some good ideas. Once the truck is "primed" it will run smoothly down to the last drop in the tank. The PO had replaced the tank and sender. I've had them both out of the truck, but never took a close look at the pick-up tube for cracks or issues. (I did have to replace a leaky float.)

Yesterday I had to "prime" the truck. It had been sitting for roughly two weeks without starting and is down to 1/4 tank. This morning, after sitting a day, it fired right up.

If it was a daily driver I would never see the issue.....

Thanks, Cris

HTH,
