MY TRUCK STALLED ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. THE ENGINE CRANKS BUT WOULDN'T START. AFTER SELF DIAGNOSTICS, I FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP ISN'T WORKING, CHECKED FUEL BYPASS RELAY, TIPM, TO SEE IF A BYPASS RELAY WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT ALL DIRECTIONS POINTS TO FUEL PUMP. MY TRUCK HAD BEEN TOWED FROM WHERE IS STALLED TO MY APARTMENT'S PARKING LOT AND IT REMAINS THERE AS I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED.

THE ENGINE IS STARTING BUT WOULDN'T RUN. I AM ASSUMING THAT IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL PUMP.

TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

ANYTIME VEHICLE IS FUELED, UPON REACHING FULL, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF FILLER NECK UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE. SOMETIMES BEFORE, BUT USUALLY AFTER THE NOZZLE HAS SHUTOFF DELIVERY. FUEL SHOOTS/ SPRAYS UP TO 2 FEET AWAY FROM VEHICLE CREATING A SERIOUS FIRE / ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IT IS HARD TO JUDGE THE AMOUNT SPRAYED, BUT I SUSPECT ANYWHERE FROM A PINT TO 1/2 GALLON DEPENDING ON CIRCUMSTANCES AND FACTORS. SPEED OF DELIVERY AND THE AMOUNT TANK IS EMPTY. THE LOWER THE LEVEL THE WORSE/ FARTHER THE SPRAY. DELIVERY APPEARS TO PRESSURIZE THE TANK AND CAUSE SPRAY CONDITION NO MATTER WHAT PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN TO AVOID. I PURCHASED VEHICLE USED AROUND 1 YEAR AGO AT A DEALER AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS, EVEN THE NIGHT PURCHASED EVERY SINCE.

FIRST THE GAS KEPT STOPPING EVEN WHEN IT WASN'T FULL,. NOW WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, THE GAS WILL NOT STOP. INSTEAD IT WILL KEEP GOING AND SPILL ALL OVER.*DT*JB
