I wish the reason that my truck runs out of fuel when it is half empty was because it was filled with cash from some previous history as a drug-running vehicle. It seems more likely though that a pickup tube has slipped loose and I no longer reach the bottom of the tank. This is the way the truck has operated since I purchased it last April.
Can anyone tell me anything about what to expect in terms of a repair? Will it have corroded, fatigued and broken or just slipped off/out? Will the pickup tube be lying in the bottom of the tank and will it be a simple matter of reinserting it? How would I keep it from coming loose again? What do you think I'll need to replace?
If possible please provide as complete an answer as you can so I can buy the parts and fix the thing.
