Dodge - Dakota :: 2004 Will Not Accept Fuel Properly

Gasoline backs up in the filler neck while pumping. I've disconnected the vent tube on the filler neck and disconnected the hose going to the canister next to the fuel tank. I've let the engine run during fill up, but this does not change things. Violently shaking the truck while cursing only provides entertainment to other motorist at the pump. I gave up my career as an auto mechanic in the 80's when cars were being made out of metal.

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Ran Out Of Fuel With 1/8 Tank And No Low Fuel Light?

So my 7.3 started sputtering and lost power, died on the side of the road. I wasn't far from home put about 8 gallon of diesel in the tank with a couple of fuel jugs and it fired right up.

Gauge was reading 1/8 of a tank and low fuel light did not come on. (low fuel light comes on when you start) Gauge came up to about 1/2 after putting fuel in.

What happened? Gauge was always reliable and low fuel light always did work. Only work done to fuel system was had new tank straps put on a couple of months ago.

Ford Fuel System :: E350 - Fuel Tank / Pump Noise After Cutoff

This van has had a couple of fuel pumps, no surprise there, and i need to look through my paperwork and find out how many miles the current one has on it, but it has the STRANGEST habit I've ever had on any vehicle. Starts fine, runs fine, no fuel pump noise when van is running, and when you turn it off, the fuel pump creeks on and off for several minutes.

I mean a strange creaking noise almost like a shorted electrical device or a vehicle's brakes when you park it on a hill and the breaks creak as it settles into place. I'm probably doing a lousy job of describing this but i don't know how else to describe it!

ALSO, if you lay under the van and wait til it stops creaking, you can tap the bottom of the tank and it will creak for a few more seconds. You can tap repeatedly and make it creak more. Is it about to explode? Can i trust it on a road trip?

Ford Fuel System :: 1976 F150 - Fuel Draining All The Way Back To Tank

My vehicle:
1976 F150 2wd Extended cab
390 4bbl
c6 transmission
4BBL Edlebrock Carb
Dual fuel tanks, only rear main tank connected

My problem: For the first year I owned the truck, everything ran fine and it started up really quickly even after it sat for a few days or a few weeks. I have since, for about the last year or so, had to crank it for 30-45 seconds to get it to start. This all started around the time my fuel pump went out. I replaced it with an Airtex fuel pump from Autozone. I also installed a glass in line filter before the carb in front of the distributor.

I noticed that after about 4-6 hours, the fuel had drained out of the filter and that's when I would have to crank it forever to get it going. It also seems like there is no fuel in the carb as it doesn't even try to start when it first gets cranked. I thought this was a bad pump, so I bought a new one last week and tried it again. Sure enough after about 4-6 hours, everything is empty again and it takes forever to start it. So it's not a bad pump, or so I think.

The other day I backed it into my driveway and left it, something I never do. I checked about 4 days later and there was still fuel in the filter. This makes me think that gravity is making it drain back to the tank.

Is there something that would cause this? Also I have found a one way fuel check valve online that is supposed to remedy this type of problem. Do they work for this situation? Or is there something else I should be doing to fix this? It has taken a bit of a toll on my starting system having to crank so long all the time. I have so far had to replace my starter, starter solenoid, and all the battery cables, starter cable, terminals, etc. due to excessive wear.

The valve I found is here : [URL] .....

Ford Fuel System :: Deep Cleaning Inside Of Fuel Tank

I have a tank that's been out of my truck for a couple years. I want to clean it up real good inside before re-installing. Are there any products you can recommend that will give a deep clean on the inside to remove any gunk and some slight rust? Also, is there a product that should be used to coat the inside of the tank after it's been deep cleaned?

I have a 2004 F150 XLT 5.4 L 79,000 miles. Yesterday i was driving home turned a corner and the low fuel light came on and the fuel gauge is well below empty.

I have never run the truck low enough on fuel to make the dummy light come on.....

Ford Fuel System :: 1986 F150 - Fuel Coming Out Of Front Tank Filler Neck

I have a 1986 F150 6 cyl, dual tanks, no AC, manual fuel pump. Just recently, I have been having issues with the tanks. At first it seemed like the back tank was siphoning from the front tank. Now I have fuel coming out of my front tank filler neck. When I open the back tank gas cap, there is enough pressure to spray me with gasoline. I am not familiar with the fuel delivery system of my truck ...

Buick - Lasebre :: New Electrical Connector In Tank / Pump Won't Start - Reverse Wiring?

I changed a fuel pump that a service shop said was bad. It would start and run for a few minutes and then stop. If it started at all. I dropped the tank and put a new pump in. The car did not start at all, not once. Not even fire. I had to install a new electrical connector inside the tank on the pump. The connector was different than the one in there. I connected black wire to black and grey to grey, thinking that made sense. Took off inline fuel filter next to tank. Had someone turn on key to see if fuel would come out. Nothing. But I did hear fuel running loudly through the return line. Which confused me at the time.

Thinking of it over night, could it be not likely, very likely those lines are in reverse, causing the pump to pump backwards. Which is why I heard fuel going through the return line? If this is the case I am going to try tomorrow to reverse the lines going into the tank. Instead of the fun of removing tank again. Why would pumps have black and grey wires that hook up differently?

Ford Fuel System :: Small Leak Where Filler Neck Ties Into Rubber Hose That Runs Into Fuel Tank

I recently purchased a used 1999 F250 Super Duty with about 150k miles on it. The truck runs great and I have no complaints but there are a few things that need to be taken care of. It looks like there is a very small fuel leak where the filler neck ties into the rubber hose that runs into the fuel tank. There is a thin film of diesel along the side of the tank, on the leaf spring, the air bag and various other places. Nothing is dripping. I want to drop the tank and replace the hose. The Haynes manual says to depressurize the whole fuel system--is this really necessary if I don't plan on doing anything to the system aside from dropping the tank?

Ford Fuel System :: No Fuel From Rear Tank

This is on my sig truck. I can hear the pump running, and a sound like fuel spraying around inside the tank, but not getting any up front to the carb. What is the most likely culprit for this? Can't get the bed off, or get the strap bolts loose, so I haven't been able to "eyeball" anything, yet.

Prius C Fuel :: How Much Fuel To Keep In Tank

A buddy of mines was telling me that it's bad that I always drive until the car says I need gas. He tells me the fuel pump has to work harder and driving until E can make the fuel pumps life shorter and I'll have to have it replaced?

is this true? should I always refuel when hitting near 1/4 tank?

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2006 AC Compressor Won't Come On To Accept Charge

2006 Prius 104,000 miles - 9 months ago the AC started blowing "not cold" air. I put a can of suitable 134a WITH the correct oil in-and it blew cold for about 6 weeks then the weather became a bit cooler-and my son drives it - so I ignored it as it cooled less well.

Yesterday I tried to recharge it again-no go-the AC literally seemed to be blowing HOT air, the compressor wouldn't come on. Guessing so much 134a is gone that it won't come on-just like a regular AC. How can I trick the compressor to come on so it can accept the charge.

Yes I'm aware the orange covered cables are 200+ volts. I can't - couldn't find any compressor fuse?? I found a A/C fuse under the dash-but it was just 10-15 amps-12 V amps probably-so no way is it the compressor-110 watts-?? Must take 1000 or more watts to drive that compressor.

Passat (B6) :: How To Disable The Accept Screen On MFD2

By changing the region for the instrument cluster in Module 17 (VAG-COM) to Europe or UK, it removes the accept screen. Well, I did that, and it works, but then immediately I get the ABS light on and the ESC doesn't work, and then the parking brake light goes on and says there is a fault. If I change it back to US or Canada, everything is back to normal. I'm just tired of having to press "accept" every time I start the car and want to use my steering wheel controls for volume and such.
