Does fuel in the valley equate to any stall issues??

As the title asked: is there any component or components that could cause a intermittent stall and also contribute to a fuel leak in the valley? Seems I have both currently...

A dying fuel pump leaks. Not a whole lot of info to go off of though for anyone to give a solid answer.

I hear that, thanks. I don't have a whole lot of info yet.. Or.. Well, as far as the stall goes I had 3 or 4 in 2 days after I got the truck back to Maine; changed the CPS and have had 2 in the month or so since then.. I just noticed the fuel in the valley when doing the 203 stat the other day..
One interesting note IMHO is that last time I got home from two weeks on the boat the truck cranked longer than it usually does like the fuel system bled down or something if that's possible.... We'll see what happens when I get home on the 13th...

Both of mine, even with e fuel, take a little longer to start after sitting for a few weeks.

If you don't have fuel running down the back of the motor, your stall isn't caused by a fuel leak that small.

Something else to check. Make sure the fpr screen is clean. I have seen a clogged screen cause a slight stumble.
