Hey Man...

What could cause both the front tank (which is only 6 months old) fuel filler hose as well as the rear tank filler hose to seem almost completely stopped up...allowing only a slight trickle of fuel to go in at a time...no matter what level the tank is in fuel content.

I have checked for kinks in these 2 inch hoses. None.
I discovered vent hoses capped on each. Removing the caps makes no difference either.

This happened simultaneously...with one tank being the 1995 original...and the front one only 6 months old.

Man...I hope there are some experienced solutions on how to troubleshoot this and get it fixed.

I find it real hard to believe that even clogged air vent fittings
can prevent the flow of diesel like this...with PLENTY of air out space left in the 2 inch hose itself...while trying to pump...and now pour from a 5 gallon tank into a funnel to get any fuel in at all.

Anyone experience this?
Any ideas?

I am new tonight to the forum...but I like all the involved assistance I have read so far.

Mine is a F-250 1995 7.3L all stock...

If you have had this happen...or know how to approach solving it...please reply here...or send an email to [email protected]

Keep it rollin'

Hey Max,

Just an off the wall thought; Do you have locking gas caps?

Sandwich baggies can reap havok with fuel filler hoses.

A fuel filler mod seems to be in order. Click <font color="blue"> here </font> to go to Steve Baz's webpage. Once you get started, you might not stop.

Bill is right on because inside that 2"hose is a 1"hose which is what your fuel has to go through.The socalled plugs you removed from vent hoses are not plugs they are to keep dirt from getting into hoses and roll over valves.

Hi...

Actually...no I don't. If someone did this...hopefully I can find them and get them out before they dissolve...gees...

I have had the front tank 2" hose off...and replaced it.

Thank You for your reply!
