I Was driving the truck & it just died, Like it ran out of gas. It was just filled up that morning & drove 15 miles. Had it towed home & now it turns over but dosnt start. Also drains the battery dead overnight. Any ideas?

Are you getting spark and fuel to the engine? Also, have you checked for an electrical draw on the battery?

If the relay is working, then you either have a bad wire to the pump, a bad connection at the pump, or the pump is bad.

As far as the draw, it is easy to check. Here are directions.
