Fuel problem
Fuel problem
Hey.
I had an issue with my truck a few months ago. Low fuel pressure code came on and truck showed signs of fuel starvation. I replaced the filter and it ran fine, engine light went off and all was good.
Today, I hooked up to my trailer, gave it some shoe and problem came back, spluttering and light came back on.
I nursed the truck home, unhooked trailer and drove lightly for 20 miles, no problems.
Seems like that there is a fuel blockage somewhere. I get fuel from a bowser at work and sometimes fuel from my inbed tank in a construction environment so I suspect a blockage somewhere. I have an 2007 5.9 with the upgraded in tank pump.
Where should I start to look?

I was wondering if there was a filter in the tank that needs cleaning. If the pump is in the tank, there has to be a filter in there to protect it, correct?
I have only done 1000 miles since replacing the filter on the motor side.

There is screen holes in the basket in the tank along with a kind of a filter screen before the pump intake in the tank but not a serviceable item. The problem could also be your in tank pump is taking a dump. When the dealer did the conversion to move mine into tank it crapped in a year, always bought fuel from service stations no slip tanks.
