Fuel system rebuild (conclusion)

[mhuppertz]

So, the screen in the tank was ripped, but no dirt, so I thought it would be a crack in the plastic line. WRONG! check the picture out, it's the screen on the inlet of my lift pump. It was totally clogged, but loosly, so when I would shut the truck down, the crap would backwash down the tube a ways, so it would run normally, until all the junk would pack back in the screen and shut the flow down. Since I had all the stuff anyway, I did the 3/8" pickup line bomb as described in the sticky and bent and ran coated 3/8" steel fuel line, mounted a big fuel filter by the tank and a diesel pusher pump. Now I have 20 PSI reading after the main fuel filter.
I will drive it tomorrow.

Yup, seen that myself! That's why you need a prefilter inline someplace.
