Dan, Take the top off of the fuel filter, remove the filter element and set it aside. On the drivers side approximately an inch or so down the side you will see a hole about the size of your little finger.

Take a mirror and a good light and look into the hole. You should see a silver color , fine mesh screen. If it has crud on it take a Q-tip, remove the cotton and very GENTLY remove the crud.

When that has been completed drain the fuel bowl, (put a catch pan beneath the truck first) then put everything back together.

Freeby:
Use a BB from, or at least meant for a BB GUN.....ONLY when you shim the FPR.

Proper etiquette is to always use your OWN truck key. LOL

Look at the bright side. You never need to add lube to your lock cylinder.

PS- many guys remove the cotton from the q-tip and just use the stick.
