Hey Guys , Got my sierra stuck in a puddle the other day and now it is breaking down under load, it like its not getting enough fuel pressure now as the fuel filter is full then its half empty. There is now a big dent in the tank now also, would i have damage the pick up. The car will idle fine and free rev but when you start to drive the car will stall. Any ideas

Had similar problem a week or so ago. New fuel filter, cleaned out tank, fuel lines and carby. Runs fine now.

Use Metho to clean out a commodore that I sued to own that had shit all through the tank. It was a slack method and cost me a bit more but I just replaced the fuel filter every tank and put 1ltr of Metho in the new fuel. As far as I could tell it worked.

Any ideas pic of dented tank, could be that it's munted the fuel pick up.
