3rd gen problems, need some insight guys!!

[pwerwagn]

Ok so I bought a 3rd gen a while back, and kept the 12V incase i didnt like the 3rd gen. Well all was good, so the 12V went to a new home last friday. Then this thurs, the 3rd gen kills over!!! haha

So anyways, here is what happened. I was wheeling, pointing down hill. had about 1/8th tank, the truck died. I figured, no biggie...pickup got uncovered. So It restarted and i hauled arse down hill to flat ground, let it idle for a few minutes to let fuel back in the lines.

Then I decided to leave, and when i got on pavement and tried to accelerate it would cough and sputter and die. Then it would restart...go about 1/4 mile then sputter and die. Every tiem the distance got shorter, I made it about a mile total. Then it wouldnt start at all.

So I hitched a ride home, and went back and towed it. I stopped at the gas station and put 10gal in it, but it wouldnt start still. Then, right when I got it int he driveway, I cranked and it started and ran fine. I drove it around the block, and no problems.

Then last night, I went to drive it and it sputtered, so I just took it home. I guess it could still have air in the lines but i didnt trust it.

#1. Are the sending units known to just read wrong on the fuel level all of a sudden (less than a week earlier I had it down to E and it still ran...).

i know this isnt the engine forum so im just gonna ask about the fuel gauge....

thanks guys,
Jeff
