Ha! I bet this is why my ol ladies truck takes about 10 seconds to start, and mine with a fresh pump/sender/tank fires off in less than one good ol Mississippi second… Thanks brother!
Thanks a lot. I think you just saved from going out of my mind and burn my truck. I have noticed that loosen clamp in the hose, and never thought it was needed.
Man, I had the same exact rubber hose split on me. I dropped another one in and was looking at the old one not figuring out how it was broke until I saw the split the next day. I fortunately replaced the whole thing all together, don’t like buying off junk cars for sensors and no sense in putting old parts back in the fuel tank as it was a bitch to drop the tank and all. Glad to see others finding a 30 year old hose goes bad the same way. Best of luck to ya. Also don’t put a rubber base down under the tbi , figured that out the hard way after paying over 300 dollars for all the sensors connected to it around the tbi. That rubber base and gasket is a joke. Just use the gasket straight to metal.
A cheap easy upgrade for these is to install the pump for 1996-98 Silverado with the 5.7l Vortex v8. It flows more, is better able to hold the factory pressure, and is pretty much plug and play.
Another way of confirming bleed down issues is do a pinch off test. Put a gauge where the fuel filter goes and pinch it off right after it. Prime the system and it should hold up to 18psi of pressure. If not its bleeding down somewhere, if you don't see or smell gas then its inside the tank.
Well i got an 1989 put new distributor fule pump.fule sensor and fues new air flow sensor new coil cleaned grounds anf as i got down the road not even a mile it dies wont start back and ill go to the battery and just losein the hot and turn key on go back to battery and move the hot i can hear the pump but no squrt to the injetors untill i shake the hot cable it wont do it all t
Another thing that will confirm for one if this issue exists...fill fuel tank full. Does the issue go away? I bet it does until the fuel level drops below the split line.
Man…. This is EXACTLY what happened to mine. I would not have checked it if it was not for this vid.
Many thanks, back on the road!
If it wasn’t for you older guys us younger guys wouldn’t know shit.thanks this really helped

Great video. I'm digging into my tbi for almost a year. This week will get into the gas tank. Thank you

Thanks for the video. Just came here to say, you sound exactly like the sheriff of nottingham from Disney Robin Hood 😂

I didn't hear him say he replaced the gas filter. That's what was causing low pressure on mine.
Well, I guess I'll check there, too. Thanks for the Vid.
Thanks!

Sorry…but no. As long as the pressure is higher in the line than in the tank, it will simply back feed the tank. Trust me.. I tried that too.
