on the side of your fuel bowl there is a shreader valve. it looks like a tire valve stem. with the truck running put a tire gauge on it. fuel will spray out of it. so be cautious.

the first thing is to make sure are getting pressure from the filter before u check any farther. Lay under your truck and chase the line from the tank to the filter and see where u can put in a tee and a guage
