[QUOTE="chaselee, post: 1539349, member: 25627"] Backstory: When I bought my 96 CCSB powerstroke 2 years ago it was bone stock everything. Shortly after getting it, it started running really bad. I took it down to my buddy (local diesel performance shop) and he told me that I had 0 fuel pressure. They dropped both tanks, cleaned 22 years of rust and crap out of the tanks, blew the lines and all was well. Not too long after that I started modding. Bigger injectors, bigger turbo, Irate E-fuel, and Super duty intercooler with Irate piping, Hydra tunes etc.. About 2 weeks ago I started hearing my fuel pump getting loud, not only getting loud, but also making a surging noise, but I was busy and had no choice but to drive the thing until I got a day off. Thursday I took it in to him to have it looked over and once again he told me that my pressure really low, oh and I had burned up my fuel pump. I was excited as you can imagine. he said I had some restriction again so he backblew the lines and rigged up a SD fuel pump to get me by til the new parts came in. Upon his recommendation I ordered both new tanks, new sending units, new in tank plastic pickup screen thingys, and a new Walbro 255 fuel pump from Irate. Today my front tank was getting low so I switch to my rear...no change in fuel level, so I semi-panick thinking that somehow, someway, just maybe I hadn't filled the rear tank. Keep in mind, when I stop for fuel, I ALWAYS fill both tanks..run the front first until almost empty, then switch to the rear. Once the rear gets to 1/4 repeat the process. Swing into the fuel station, fill the front tank, move to the rear and it only takes 6 gallons, which was super puzzling to me as I never partially fill my tanks. fire the truck up and switch back to the front tank and it reads full like it should. Ive already replaced the tank switching valve on the frame rail once, maybe about a year ago, but amongst all my other problems it seems to be acting up again, as it seems to be only reading the front tank. Sorry for the book, but I figured a little history was necessary in this case. Any words of wisdom from the OBS Gods is appreciated. Ive already spent $800 on parts this week, I sure don't want to have to buy another $300 switching valve. Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
