    RPM dropped to 200 while driving and then cruised to stop on shoulder. Tried to crank it. It cranks but (I think) fuel is not getting to injectors.
    Checked water separator. It is empty.

    What else to check? What could be problem? Is it pump?

    I'm sorry, didn't mean to be rude, if the motor "draws" from the right tank, the crossover is line, if it has one, is plugged.

    Its all good. You can call me newbie cause yes, I’m bad at it.
    I fueled 2 days ago and it is 275 gallons total. Its gauge was working ok. Its either clogged or something else cause. But, hey, thanks for helping out. I was depressing about towing and ####. You saved me $$ big time

    Good he helped you because he was being an ### and was not trying to help you. You got lucky his ####### response had anything to do with you. He just here to start #### if you are in a Volvo. What do you call those guys? Oh right he is a Troll...

    Hopefully you can get this figured out now you know that one tank is not drawing fuel.
