Default Need Help on Fuel Problem!

My gas gauge moves from full to empty does anyone know what I can do? I have tried a tornado and a throttle body spacer.... as those gave me about 75 hp (that is what the box said) it didn't help my mileage. I'm thinkin about a tricked out leaf blower set up for the extra boost i need!

I hope this starts some of yalls day really well helping me with such a problem! I'm very upset about the gas mileage performace these products make

Whenever my truck is running slow i always replace the turboreinstabulator (next to the rotator clip). There kind of expensive but it always seems to do the trick. Great gas milage too!!

I would start first by going out and adding a couple buckets of steam to it.. If the problem persists, def check the RIGHT blinker reservoir first... If it still is sucking, I wouldn't hesitate to swap out the reastatic conservator.. That tells the the pcm what the angle of the jangle is in reference to the heat of the meat Good luck man
