The Tank Assembly problem

There was a strong gas smell in cab with all windows closed. I closed the vent, but it was still very strong and getting worse. No fuel leaks found. This has occurred 5 times. Seems to be intermittent and not directly connected with re/fueling, or fuel tank level.   Read details...

The Fuel Delivery problem

When the truck is off for several minutes or more, it takes several seconds for the engine to start. This started when it was about 5 yrs old with about 70,000 miles on it. It will start immediately if it has just been turned off. I suspect a lowering of gas line pressure when the engine is off.   Read details...
