Why is my fuel tank always lower on the drivers side?
Going down the road, the drivers side tank level is most always lower. In addition to the fuel lines, in the top of each tank is a pressure equalizing vent which is probably the culprit.
What should I do if my fuel tank is not drawing?
There is no charge for this service, but standard message and data rates may apply. Disconnect return line on top of tank and see if fuel is returning to tank with the truck running. If so you should have a shut off valve on the bottom of both tanks, turn them both off and remove the fuel lines.
Is the fuel level always the same in a truck?
Both lines are connected with a T fitting, ideally fuel flows to and from evenly for both tanks, levels stay the same, and they found a cure for cancer. NOT! From day 1, your 98 Pete’s tanks never had the same fuel levels as long as the engine is running. Going down the road, the drivers side tank level is most always lower.
What happens to the fuel tank when the engine is running?
Fuel returning from a running engine will flow to where there is less resistance; i.e. lower air pressure in one side vs. the other would see all the returning fuel go to the side where the vent is working properly, while the side with the plugged up or stuck vent has a “bubble.”
