Do both motors pull of the same tank?

Do they use the same pick up and a tee, or do they both have there own pickups?

Did you fuel up that day?

I was with the guy who gave you the strap wrench to get your fuel seperator off,,,,, take them off again and pour into a clear contaner to see if it " seperates " into fuel and water.

If none of those are it let me know and we will hook the scan tool up to it.

But if I had to guess,,,,, they both have the same pickup and there is a problem with it,,,,, or you got a bad tank of gas, or water got in your tank somehow.

Hey what's up man. I appreciated the help from you guys the other day. I'm not sure about the pickups, i'll find out thursday when I get into this thing.

We did fuel up, put about 40 gallons into it, had about a half tank in it before that. Fuel gauge read just below full.

We thought the seperator had some water in it, but when we poured the things out into the bottle, there was none... Just gas.

I'll post up more thursday. A tech from my work is going to help me troubleshoot then.

Ok,,,, cool,,, gotta be a tee of a single tank pickup,,, or a bad tank of fuel/ water in fuel to effect both motors like that.
