    Yes, this has only happened once when the fuel was over 1/4 full. The
problem is that when I let the take go below 1/4 full, the truck will
soon-after stall and die. It does it when the engine and weather are cold or
hot. It will not start until it sits for a few minutes. This is when I get
to the station ASAP and fill 'er up.

Being a '93, I figure it has been some time since the fuel filters were
replaced. I have heard that the fuel filter is located inside the tank? Are
there any other in-line filters outside the tank? How much is it gonna run
me to get that in-tank screen/filter replaced (ballpark)?

  My 95 had the same problem last year and i didnt think anything of it.
Soon it effected my acceleration. Everytime i stepped on the accelerator it
wouldnt go. My fuel pump went bad and it was from running out of gas twice.
So I hope you havent done that. But its probably your filter, but to
everyone else. DO NOT run out of gas its bad... hehe
