Going to pick this car up and i had just about arrived when i forgot to swap tanks and ran out and rolled to a stop on a side street. I swapped the tank to the front and bled/cranked from the engine bay and got it started up after a couple tries.
Later when i was towing the car home, I was cruising along when the truck seemed to be getting starved for fuel. I was holding the pedal constant but i was losing power. I downshifted to forth gear and put my foot in it a bit and it seemed to clear up. at the next rest area i pulled in to inspect the status of my prefilter thinking i might have clogged it up by running the rear tank empty. Pre-filter had some crud, but over all didnt look bad. I hit the restroom, came out jumped in and the truck fired up.... then died about 4 secs later. tried to fire it up again but it only cranked. I re-bled and cranked it up from the bay and got it to light. On the rest of the ride it seemed ok except i felt like the power was surging slightly as if still being starved.... i haven't messed with it yet today as i am on sunday time, but wanted to get some thoughts, theory's and speculations from the gang.
