    i got 2014 Cascadia DD15
    If I have 1/3 of tank left, in the morning truck will start, run for few seconds and then die.
    It would turn over for good 20secs before it starts again.... this only happens if the fuel
    Level is 1/3 or less

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Usually a small crack in the pick up tube at that height, or the fuel pump is getting weak and cannot draw fuel from lower levels.

    Ok it’s been like this for like 3 years now
    So I would assume it’s the tube
    Pump would already fail by now?
