Bernd,
The gas tank was just steamed and degreased, done by a local radiator shop
this last time when I installed the new fuel pump assembly. The pump has
only been on a week or so. The truck was having problems before and after
the new pump assembly was put in. There has never been any dirt accumulation
either in the pump assembly's 'sock'. The fuel filter, which is external on
my truck, was also changed when I did the pump. I thought maybe something
became dis-lodged when I put the tank/pump back in, thus plugging the new
filter I just put on. So I paid another $15 and installed another fuel
filter. Truck still acted up. This whole stumbling and stalling issue is
odd, isnt it??
