Well now that all the info is in the Other thread I don't know.
I've rquested that the threads be merged so everything is together the way it should be.
we can't be hopping from one thread to another to find out what's been done

You cleaned out the tanks, when you removed the sending units did you check the filter screens? They sometimes fall off, too. Did you happen to shake the floats to see if you could hear gas sloshing around?
Are you sure there's no gas filter on the carb? Every 67/79 F100/350 had one originally. It screws in and somewhat resembles a 30-06 cartridge case, with the head towards the carb.

NumberDummy, do I need to look into cleaning out the tanks? do my symptoms resemble those of debri in the tank?
Mi1lion, sorry I don't believe I am bouncing around between posts. All the background information for the fuel system I meant to add to this post.
Hey, thank you!

I believe that my 3/8ths hose just fit over the carberator stem that pokes out ( if I remember right).

The tanks, even when the trucks are driven on a daily basis will collect scale and impurities, and gas today is full of impurities. Gaining access to underbody fuel tanks is a itchbay, so before going there, check the carb for a filter.
You may have to clean out those tanks one day.

That's why users are asked to "Go find their thread themselves" and post to it with further info or an update rather than start another one.
Now that everything is on one thread we don't have to.
My point is : Just keep posting to the original thread if what you are asking about it relates to it ..... not start others .
