no power and stalling after new fuel tank

[militarycucv]

i put a new fuel tank and sending unit in my 1008 lastnight and it starts, idles, and revs perfect, but when i drive it it feels like its holding back or starving for fuel.

Then it will not even want to run and trys to stall untill i let off the throttle, my lines look ok and i changed the rubber hose from the sending unit to the fuel line and they dont seem to be kinked or anything. it took me almost 30 minutes to drive 2 miles.

id appreciate any help guys thanks! Adam.

some people have issues with the Fuel return line. the one way vavle gets full of crud and needs to be cleaned out.

would that cause what im describing? im gonna go clean out that valve today im just gettin more ideas. thanks alot, once again man!

does it idle and then when you put it in drive it dies ?

 

[militarycucv]

it will start idle and rev fine but after i go about 1/2 mile down the road it starts loosing power and wants to die. then il pull over let it idle for about 2-3 minutes and it will go for another 1/2 mile and do the same thing.

ok i cleaned out that valve and i took it for a ride but still runs out of fuel. today it acually did stall and wouldnt start for about 2 minutes and i had to hold my throttle down for it to get running again

Check your fuel lines and make sure no line is pinched or leaking fuel

Did it do this, BEFORE you changed the tank and sending unit? Have you tried leaving your fuel tank cap loose? If you open the cap, after it dies, is there suction there?

 

[militarycucv]

doghead it ran perfect befor the new tank and sending unit. i didnt see if there was vacuum in the tank when it was acting up. il try that

 

[militarycucv]

i went out and checked the cap and i beleive it had pressure in the tank? because i smelled diesel when it was hissing

did it start with no vacuum in the tank
