It started out with this weird problem were it would die and lose speed when I put my foot on the gas, and it got wosre over time. At first I could restsrt it right away, but eventually I would have to let it sit for hours and then it would mysteriously started working again. It began happening more and more frecquently, and now, it won't even start. It seems like their may not be fuel getting to the engine. It had a quarterof a tank of gas and wouldn't start until I added a few gallons to that. then i was able to drive it home. Now again it won't start. I'm guessing that maybe my fuel pump is out, or the fuel filter is clogged, or something else is wrong with the fuel line. It is an 1985 Ford Ranger, V6, 2.8 L, with 4 wheel drive, and the auxillary gas tank. Ideas?

if the problem happens with both tanks, it sounds like the filter(s) to me. each tank has it's own fuel pump-i doubt their both bad at the same time. filters...1 underneath on frame, 1 on firewall under hood. lots of luck.

It's your fuel filter. Don't let the gas drop below 1/4 tank .

Spray starter fluid in the air breather and see if it runs. If so, it is probably the fuel pum. If it doesn't start with starter fluid, it will most definitely be a bad coil. Good luck.

I agree, start with the fuel filter(s).
