no fuel pressure issue solved

[91syclone832]

so in the past weeks i got the truck runnning decent and its still on the same tank i bought the truck with, she was starting to slow start so i thought maybe shes very low on gas, so i get some neew gas in the morning put it in start the truck and its still slow starting but she started, so when i get back from work later that day no start!!! wtf her symptoms were no fuel at the rails, very loud fuel pump and fuel gauge had a mind of its own, so i take the bed off take out the pump and i see the rubber hose that connects the pump to the sender is melted through letting absolutely no gas through, so i change it put everthing back together and i give her a crank and she started and idle like a new car i was amazed.... i also found out i have a walbro 255lph fuel pump already.. yay:tup:

Check to see if you have a larger feed wire to it (the fuel pump). I've heard the Walbros create a larger load, leading to blown fuses. Racetronix makes a "hotwire" kit to solve the wiring issue.
