Fueling Problem
Help! My father has a 1990 F-250 with the 7.3 and he can't get it to take fuel when filling up. His truck has dual tanks but it will only take fuel real slow. What is wrong?
Thanks
Scott

Fueling Problem
I have a gasser, but we have a diesel van at work. When we take it over the road we have to be sure that the pump we take it to has a small diamter nozzle. If you are trying to use the large, tractor trailer nozzle it may be fueling too fast and foaming and kicking the shut off on the nozzle.

Fueling Problem
I have the same problem. Either carry blocks of wood and put them under the driver's side tires to raise the left side of the truck or find a diesel pump with a grade that slopes away from the pump. I have found that any parking lot that is level to the pump or slopes toward the pump will cause me not to be able to fuel up quickly. I can fuel up "full throttle" when the truck is at the correct angle.
