Positive its fuel. Checked all the usual suspects yesterday. It had been on 1/8 tank for a couple days, it just didn't register in mu head till the fuel light came on, about a mile before it died. I think the lift pump is too weak to prime it now. We tried preszurizing the tank with an air compressor yesterday even to force the fuel up to the filter and it still wouldn't prime. Gonna have bring a new pump home from work today (delivers parts for carquest as his retirement job to get a discount on parts). Try that and see how it goes. I guess they are pretty easy to burn up once they run dry. I talked to a couple 7.3 guru's last night and this morning that told me to replace it, then just crank the f$#% out of it. They said eventually it'll go, it just takes forever.
