Okay, here goes. The plastic tank on my '89 Ranger started leaking. They don't reproduce it. Since my truck has a custom flatbed I thought I'd install a fuel cell. I welded in a frame and installed an aluminum fuel cell and an in line 45 psi fuel pump at the tank. The electric plug for the original fuel pump is disconnected, a toggle for the fuel pump is operating the pump. I've run 50 psi rated rubber fuel line directly to the metal line leading to the rail. However, it will start and run momentarily on starting fluid but will not stay running. Am I missing something here?
