1989 F150 fuel problem by mwatkins

Hello, I have a 1989 F150 with the straight 6 engine that has over 260,000 miles on it. The truck has always run well but I'm now having a problem with what I think is the fuel system. The truck will sometimes stall and run rough like it is running out of gas, and eventually quit. If I sit for about an hour, I can get it running again and it will run fine for a few days, then the problem repeats itself. I've replaced the fuel filter a couple of times and a mechanic has checked the fuel system pressure, but is unable to diagnose the problem. I'm not comfortable driving the truck now and would like some suggestions from anyone out there as to what the problem may be. Thanks, Mike

Your Ford runs on 30-40 psi of fuel pressure. Using rubber fuel hose and clamps would be fine. Using the plastic lines is only safe if it is mounted on the inside of the chassi rail to protect it. Good Luck.

I have the hard plastic gas line and front tank connection went bad. The part is discontinued so can anyone tell me how to blank off the line so the truck will run on rear tank. I have tried plugging the line and clamping it to no avail. Thanks

You din't specify year make or model but it doesn't really matter, Fords are pretty similar. First your only dealing with about 30-35-40psi of fuel pressure.
 
Depending where the line broke depends how to do the fix. Autozone sells a mending kit for those lines that come with the new quick connect ect. If the line is damged or leaking, the easier fix would be to repair that section. If it is a return line, you can also bypass the first tank all together with a sutible size tee, rubber fuel line and clamps. If you choose to do the bypass, just make sure your splicing into the same type of fuel line on the other tank..,return or outlet. If you specify where exactly the line broke, or if it is the tank fitting itself, and more info on the type of vehicle and fuel system, such as does it have a selector valve ect. Any way hope this helped, good luck.

The truck is a 1990 F150 extened cab. The break is at the front tank quick connect. There is a y in the line about 12 inches from the break and it travels back to the front the rear tank. The front tank has never worked so I just need to cap that line that used to go to the quick connect at tront tank. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for explaining it better. My recomendation is to buy the repair kit that will put a new quick connect end on the broken line. Then either reconnect it to the tank, or put a fuel filter on the end of the new quick connector. This will allow you to put a large vaccum cap and clamp on the other end of the filter to cap it off and keep it from leaking. This will also make it easier in the future if you decide to reuse that fuel tank and some point. Good luck with it.
