Gas Problem
I have been having a fuel problem with my 2000 b-3000.
Its start the other day when the truck stalled after 3/4 hour of driving, was like i ran out of gas, but i have 3/4 of a tank. The engine turns over and i have spark and compression. Thought it might be fuel pump, so i pulled it and tested, its works, checked that it was being power and it was. Now the truck will start sometimes and run/drive for 10min and once since the problem it rand for over an hour (I even thought the problem was gone) But its died again....
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Nick

Welcome to FTE!!!!
When it's a no-start can you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds when you first turn the key on? A fuel pressure test would also be a good idea when its a no-start. Another thing you could try is spraying a little gas into the throttle body while someone cranks it to see if it starts.
