My truck was runnig great picked up speed quick and ran low on gas so I put some in out of my chain saw mix jug. With in the next two days I filled the tank and my truck will not pick up from stopped . When I getthe speed up alittle the truck will not hardly pull a hill . It feels like to me it is not getting enough gas so I changed the fuel filter on the fuel injected truck. Also the air filter is new. What can I do to see if may be fuel pump is not pumping enough or needs cleaning out ,or may be the injector system needs cleaning . What do you think?
