96 12v Loses power or dies at 1/2 tank

[Chris Buckner]

Hey guys little bit of an emergency, my truck runs fine all day until about half a tank then it loses power or dies while driving if I coast in neutral. Once it dies I can usually crank it right back up and it’ll run, if it doesn’t then I have to wait like 10-15 minutes. if I’m not driving it for a while and it sits at home a couple of days it fires right up and it’s fine.
I already have Installed new injection pump, lift pump, Fuel filters and cleaned injectors. Need INSIGHT ON WHAT NEXT

Sounds like something wrong with the pick up tube. I've seen fords that get rotted and break apart.

Have you checked the fuel lines from front to back, including the module on the tank ?. I have read about pinholes etc. on the line at the module where the hose connects. Behind/between the tank and frame is a hot spot also.

I’ve replaced all fuel lines with steel braided hoses. I haven’t checked module will do that mow

Didn’t even think about it, cause I assumed it was good if it was fine all this time. I’ll do that asap

If it turns out to be the module, I changed mine out with a Vulcan non pump module from genosgarage. Be sure to order the gasket sold seperately.

Didya get the problem fixed? I'd be interested to know the cause.

yes it was the draw straw it broke off into the tank. Had to be towed to gas station then drove to local shop in my area

Agree with others = do the draw straw.
