Congrats on the truck purchase John...very cool truck!!

Then my 74 Chevy Stepside will have to find a new home .

Sounds like a nice truck.

Also sounds like you ae in for dropping the tank and cleaning it all out. Did it sit for awhile? Or is this possibly a problem with ethonol gas breaking down? I've heard that you cannot store it more than 90 days, but haven't really looked into what it breaks down into or if the by-products of the decay would clog a system.

It was running fine until I filled it up ,Im assuming the ethanol gas liqufied the sludge in the tank .Yes ,it had been sitting for a while .I have another tank to put in but Im going to try fuel filters for a while to see what happens .

Thanks Ray for posting those for me ,its a pretty nice truck .It just needs a little TLC ,get the fuel system worked out ,clean and dye the carpet black and maybe even the seat ,add a stereo system ,paint the bed and drive the wheels off of it until I decide what to do with the bed .The bed is a little wider than it needs to be .
