I have a 1977 Chevrolet Scottsdale with a 350 engine. when I bought the truck it would stay on for thirty minutes then filter would go empty and truck would shut off. I have replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter and it still does the same thing it runs for thirty minutes then filter goes empty and shuts off.

Just for giggles leave your gas cap off.

Return with results.

Hello,

I have seen this problem many times, replace the rubber fuel line from the pump to the tank and the problem will be fixed.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
