I have put an elec fuel pump on it an that worked for a while till it shorted out. So I went back to the stock manual pump and it works some times but then it will just keep enough fuel to keep it running. Sometimes? I just bought a new pump ( manuel) for it today thinking that the old one might have a problem. But it does the same thing> I have a glass fuel filter on it so I can see what is going on. It keeps about 1/4 of the filter with fuel? I have replaced everything from the tank to the carb?New tank unit,New lines,& rebuilt the carb. HELP! I don't know what else to try! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 206 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 206 | Seen them glass filters,Alway's an air pocket in em" Is the truck stalling or dying?If not it's not a problem.Seen a few that never kept it full but it get's enough fuel anyway.There isn't much pressure there.Look at some lawnmowers with them plastic see through filters,they look empty for the most part but keep on running.I think it's the wicking effect or something like that.Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see a problem if it's running ok. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 | make sure your float is adjusted properly @ the carb. check for air leaks in the line. are the lines clogged, restricted, bent, or pinched??

Doesn't cost anything to try and I know from experience that a fuel pump will not overcome a vented system with a non-vented cap.
