If not the lines then the lift pump? I gather you replaced it and used grease to hold the actuating rod in place while the pump is installed. It could be a new bad pump.
If an electric pump that bypasses the mechanical pump and is fed from the tank works that would seem to indicate a mechanical pump problem.
Where does the jerry can set when the truck runs off it? High enough with a short enough hose that the IP could pull the fuel if the mechanical pump is not working? 07-06-2012 23:42If not the lines then the lift pump?

Mistaken1, i suppose it could be the lift pump but i did replace it. and yes i did install it correctly. the jerry can sits in front of the front seat by the floor or behind it. i thought of the whole gravity feeding thing, so i put the jerry can on the ground outside of the truck. the truck continued to run, however, the truck usually does run for a long time at idle, its driving it that makes it shut down fast so i dont know if this test was any good.
i bought an electric pump from napa. im concerned about putting it in though. i read a lot of the threads on here about that and it seems some people use regular gas pumps and some use special ones.
anyone know if a gas electric pump will do the job? i dont want to have to buy two pumps.
