Engine stutter after low fuel
I have a 1996 F350 7.3L and it is parked on a slight incline and I went to start it with a low fuel gauge (I just got it so not sure where "empty" is on the gauge yet). I wouldn't start so I figured it needed fuel so refueled it and it started but very rough and ran rough without getting better. It started and ran fine before this so what did I mess up by trying to start it without enough fuel?

I'd add Redline Fuel System Cleaner to this list. Techron is a bit mild, better as a monthly clean. Redline and Seafoam are a bit stronger, and will really help the injectors.

I ordered the Techron and Tufoil engine treatment but will also get the Redline for the initial treatment. Where do you recommend for ordering parts? Thanks for all the help!!!

Ordered? Don't you have a local parts house nearby?

I am extremely busy these days so I like to do as much online as I can (I also work swings). It would be nice to have a good site to order things from, the filter I will probably get locally but this is just the beginning for this truck. The prices are usually better online too. Shipping with Amazon Prime is awesome too which is how I get most of my shopping done.

I agree about there probably being trash in the fuel filter. I have also seen tanks that looked great on the outside and were all rusty on the inside.
I like Seafoam and Techron. I don't know anything about Redline though.
Rockauto does have a lot of parts, and I have used them before with good results.
