1994 b350, fuel gets to @ 3/4 tank on gauge the old girl sputters, spits, pretty much quits runnin, I can put 2 or more gallons gas in tank and it runs fine. I put dry gas in it, tried inj. cleaner, what should I do next besides get rid of her?

Had similar problem in another dodge van. in that case i ended up replacing the complete fuel pump. just remember in any book a repair is less than 2 payments on a replacement van.

Had a similar issue with my 96 Ram 3500. First it would happen near the bottom of the tank - but over a couple years it worked its way up to 3/4 tank. A friend who's a Dodge service mgr. said that sometimes the fuel-pump feeder tube (?) comes loose - so when the tank gets below that point - it's like drinking thru a cracked straw. Fill the tank above that point and it's fine. Eventually, I had to replace the fuel pump. Expensive, but like KB3HG says - it's cheaper than a couple car payments. BTW, I'm up to 179,000 miles - and hope to get many more.
