I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED TO LOSE POWER LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. I COULDN'T GET THE TRUCK TO RESTART AT ALL. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE. WHEN I LOOKED IN TO THE FUEL TANK I FOUND THE INSIDE OF IT WAS PEELING APART. I CHECKED THE FILTER AND THEY BOTH WERE CLOGGED WITH THE LINING OF THE FUEL TANK. *TR
