my truck quit on me lastnight on the way to work....no fuel so i pulled the pump(because i have a spare) and then removed the fuel filter to replace it..there was a six inch piece of plastic it almost looked like weedeater line)...anyhow i pulled it out the truck runs great again..now my question is where the hell did the piece of plastic come from???...my best guess is the olf filter came apart put the plastic was on the inlet side against pressure.....any thoughts??

Does your gas gauge still work right? maybe a piece of the fuel level sending unit? Thats weird.

nope i thought of that but the guage works good??

That is weird. Im just trying to think of what could possibly look like weed eater string and the only thing I can think of is the little plastic string that attaches to your gas cap. But I don't know if our trucks even have one. Mine didn't.
