K_88Trooper,

Thanks for the support. Unfortunately I've already removed that filter (part of the fuel system modification work I performed a while ago) so that's not the cause.

I re-connected the vaccum cannister to the vac pump and pulled a vaccum on the fuel feed line - it seemed to free whatever was clogging the line and the flow now seems good.

Now, however, the fuel I get out smells awful, like the old varnished gasoline I drained out. I did rinse the tank w/ some kerosene before putting everything back together, but it still really smells. I added about 5 gallons of diesel after reassembly, too, so the actual amount of old gas is likely very small. I hope it hasn't done any damage to the injection pump in the short time I've been running it.

I may pull the tank, either clean or replace it, and then run new fuel lines along the driver's side of the truck to be certain there won't be any interference between them and the (future) exhaust system.

Did I mention the charging system in inoperable? I also blew the power steering pressure hose up today. Not a good day in the garage - had to get out of there after 2 hours and lift weights to blow off some steam!
