Help.. Truck won't start

[Mcnawsty]

On flat ground? Or with the nose pointed down like you are coming down a hill?

The pickup is in the rear for a reason, say you are running on those fumes and you have to go uphill like the vehicle is designed for? Your fuel all pools in the rear, thus allowing the pickup to still bring in fuel to the engine so it stays running.

What about driving downhill?

It's a common problem with the Gen1 and apparently it's a similar setup on the Gen2

Two different issues. 2010-14 SVT Raptor is fuse 27. Gen 2 raptor ecoboost is fuel pickup issues.

Put that puppy in Neutral and coast. Or not let it get low on gas?

Let it roll and pop the clutch tell me how it went

btw, Should I get my truck checked? I try to start it many times.. any chance of ******* up the Fuel pump?

Nope. This is just an issue where the fuel pickup is not in the optimal position. Ford will fix this soon.

I have a bridge in my back yard that is 18 inches off the ground. I'll give it a try..................

Not in the optimal position? OP's truck is pointed downhill! I'd rather the fuel pickup be at the back of the tank because it is a lot easier to coast downhill than uphill.

The "design problem" is listing range when the fuel gets low. This causes idiots to assume they have enough left to go a few extra miles. One car I had would stop counting down below 50 miles and say N/A for this very reason.

Engineering around stupid is one of the biggest challenges an engineer has to deal with.

"Engineering around stupid is one of the biggest challenges an engineer has to deal with." That's funny and true but...don't forget, paying for lousy engineering is one of the biggest challenges buyers of vehicles of all prices have to deal with.

Seriously, my Jeep and Honda can count down remaining gas tank range to almost zero with accuracy.
