ok this truck which is a 79 F250 4x4 which only get used to plow out my drive way in the winter. It has had this probem for a while which is getting anyoning trying to fix. berfore it will start you litertley have to pump the gas 30-50 times before it will start. I had the carb rebuilt installed a new fuel pump filter and new line going from the pump to the carb. and it still has this problem my uncle rebulilt the carb and i had him tear it apart again too see if there was a problem couldn't find one. his says if the gas tank is getting shit inside it that the dirt and crud could be getting on the screen and when i shut the truck off it act's like a suction and pulls the gas out of the carb. is this possiable or do you think the carb is junk. i don't want to waste money on a part that dosn't fix the problem. if its the gas tank i wthought about cutting the gas line behind the cab and running a ruber hose to a 5 gallon gas can and throughing it in the bed since it only get used for plowing snow who cares.
