fuel problem?
hey guys, my name is mike and i just joined today. i tried to do a search, but turned up nothing. i have a 2000 F250 stock with 150k on the clock. I've had the truck for 5 years now and it's been a great truck, but i have been having some problems with it running real bad and even dieing when the fuel gauge dips below a 1/4 tank. it runs great above that. i have changed the fuel filter many times and dump the water trap all the time. can y'all help me out? thanks.

Sounds like your fuel pickup assembly in the tank is clogged, cracked or both. Might be a good time to check it out. The 1/4 tank or less symptoms point directly to a fuel pickup issue.
Here is a link that has lots of great photos.

Sounds like the fuel pick-up in the tank is probably cracked or broken thus sucking in air. Here is the part # if needed: E5TZ-9J306-BA
I would do the in tank mods while you have the tank dropped. ITP sells a kit:
Driven Diesel 7.3L Fuel Tank / Pre-Pump Kit
