ive been having fuel problems for some time i changed the mechanical fuel pump and then i leaked gas from somewhere around my carb i tightened some bolts and tried to mess with the tune screws. got it running and drove to school for about a month and here and there but then it just stop turning on and would only crank. the gas indicated i had gas in both tanks but i still added around 3 gallons to the driver side and still nothing. let it sit for about another month before today charging the battery and hooking up my fuel pump line to a 2 gallon tank and it turned on and ran until the gas ran out. and im stuck now. could it be something in the back (pictured #2)

Trobbles are small blue fuzzy very friendly creature species critters, usually very peaceful, who can help alot in a fight, they protect their owner by zapping into the enemy with Energy Melee attacks. A trobble will only attack you if it feels threatened, or if you try to treat it like a stuffed animal.
Please don't look that up in Urban Dictionary. Someone less demented than myself will be along to help you soon.

Start by replacing all the rubber lines coming from the tank forward,Start at the tank blow in the new line make sure you get bubbling fuel 8n the tank. Move forward,do the same thing blow in the hose keep going. If you get to a spot you can't blow through or it doesn't bubble in the tank,let us know.

Wait, I thought it was Tribbles? You know, sweet little furry balls that hate Klingons.

Read what I wrote. Then go examine your truck hard, from gas tank to fuel pump. I'm not going to hold your hand and tell you where every possible piece of rubber line is on your truck.

and then there's the clear Chinese fuel filters that come apart internally allowing debris and bypass and then block flow with the detached cartridge.
