How is the air not compressible? Wouldn't the fuel be what isn't compressible since it is a liquid?

Gotta give you crap... it's typically me being too slow so I have to jump on the opportunity when it arises.

Not by a liquid. Lol
Maybe someone else can explain it better.
Need a fluid engineer. We had one, but he hasn't been on in awhile.

This is very interesting. I'm thinking air may be getting in from the fuel filter it looks a bit wet. Maybe just needs tightening. It's new.

IF I had air in the lines though wouldn't I have starting issues?

Truck fires right up every time.

Or is it possible air sneaks in under hard load??

Well the faster the engine turns, the more the lift pump is working.
You could just have a restriction somewhere.

Is it leaking where the filter screws in it on the top of the filter housing?

The filter just looks a bit damp on the sides but it's not dripping. I'm using an electric fuel pump. I guess I'll have to snap some pics

Definitely leaking from bottom of the filter... it seems tight though... is there a better option or should I lubev he seals and tighten it back on?

Also pics of my fuel pump.

Seals should be lubed for it to not leak, you could also be running out of fuel pressure at high load with high rpm

When my cold advance is on it will cause the same surging issue. Mines on a switch. Possibly the cold advance stuck on or something telling it to be on
