Did you put an after market pump on. Our pumps are on the frame rail!What year truck. And you should use stock fuel filter if you didn't do a fuel bowl delect. Give us more details. Chet

no fuel pump in the tank at all on these trucks. check for leaks around the fuel bowl drain plug. could be that its leaking out over time. easy rebuild
