FUEL PROBLEM - GOOD NEWS!

It appears as though eliminating the glass fuel filter has fixed the problem, but it still may be too early to call it a permanent fix.

The truck started, on the second try but it started.

Drove it around some more and shut it off, waited about 10 minutes and it also started, again on the second try.

The plan is to drive it in to work tomorrow (10 miles), shut it off wait 10 minutes and see if it will start.

Maybe test it at lunch time, and then again when I come home from work.

If we really want to be geeky we can put the old line with the inline fuel filter back on and in theory the problem should come back, don't know if it's worth the tax payers money, hee hee to do so, but we may do it for science.

If this works, then I am guessing a clogged / dirty inline fuel filter? Maybe the particles are so small the filter does not have to look like the bottom of my aquarium back in college to be considered dirty, who knows!?
