wierd fuel pump issue
hey ya'll, just finished gettin my new project all road worthy and stuff. part of it was changing out the whole fuel pump/sending unit on the rear tank (the front tank work just fine except for the gauge). After I put it in it ran fine for the first few days I took it out, i dont drive i everyday because gas is so dang expensive. almost forgot. its a 92 f350, SD fuel injected 460, E40D, 4x4. Anyway the rear tank will work for anywhere from 5-20 mins, and all day parked and idleing, but when i take off from a light it'll sputter and almost die. If i switch it over to the front tank it immediatly runs fine. Also it seems to get worse around a quater tank, but will do it even if its full. When i dropped the rear tank to change everything the was a little bit of crap on the bottom of the tank, and the shop I was is cant recycle old gas so I just left it in there, i'm almost sure thats the problem, but why would it idle fine and only sputter and die when I take off? Any suggestions?
