I have a '50 Dodge truck with fuel filler on side of cab, factory pipe so maybe 2', with a 90 degree into a tanks unlimited 16 gallon tank.
The question/problem was it ran out of gas early after 111 miles, but can go to 160, but I dragged a few people so did have my foot in the tank a few times (and gas gauge has become intermittent).
Ran out of gas, at gas station pump kept shutting off, and I could see the fuel all the way up to the cap. BUT this was after 8 gallons in a 16 gallon tank?
so either it was not empty (but won't start until I fueled up), or could the gas take a long time to get into the tank (I don't think it is vented, can't remember)
or could my pick tube have shrunk? it was the tanks inc factory top mounted pickup tube??
I understand everything but the 8 gallons full into an empty 16??
