So my dad and I were working on my Mazda truck which broke down a couple of weeks ago. We pulled it apart and started checking all we knew. We determined all of the electrical was fine, but the starter was bad and so replaced that. The truck died while running and we are pretty sure that something got jammed in the fuel line because it was dry past a point.
I researched my trucks filter and found it very easy and confirmed the part was it and pulled it out to see the filter was pretty much clean. Also there was little fuel getting to it. We filled the tank up partially to make sure. However we came across a part that we do not know what it is. It does look a lot like the in line fuel filter on my dads 2005 Silverado. But we identified my filter and thought it wouldn't make sense to have two in a row.
All we know is that fuel is not getting past this part and we are wondering if its just a fuel filter that clogged with gunk from emptying the gas tank or if its a safety fuel shut off.
Please help, the image is liked on the bottom of this post. The disconnected fuel line was connected to my fuel filter which we pulled. Thanks
