Looks like it is time to back away from Tom and Jim.

BTW Jim we need you to fix our bumper next time we visit. We pay cash and always agree with your diagnosis. :-)

Very pragmatic :-)

[Tom Sawyer]

Indeed.

We've got some problem with our truck.  Russell put in a fuel treatment and now the truck is sluggish, struggling up hills like we're under a heavy load, but we're light.  It's hard to get it to 55 miles per hour a lot of times.

[Tom Sawyer]

Gunk or water in the fuel system, perhaps.

Wishing you good luck out there.

That sounds like a very typical fuel filter problem.

Yup, I had the same issue when I switched to biodiesel - it cleaned the tank really well, and all of the tank crud ended up in the fuel filter (brand new filter went to totally plugged within two tanks of fuel).

Now that it's clean, I haven't had the same problem again.  And I get to say that my fuel comes from New Hampshire, instead of the Middle East or somesuch.

[Kat Kanning]

Thanks guys.  We were going to try the fuel filter first.

[John]

I hope all is well.

We made it to Missoula.   I went up 2 mountains at 15 mph

Did you try changing the fuel filter yet? Sounds like good advice.
