A helpful tip here.
I usually am pretty good about preventative maintence, but one missed item caught up to me recently . My Nissan truck has been running pretty crappy for a few months and it felt like a bad TPS or air flow meter. This week, I noticed a little gas weeping from underneath the fuel filter. So this weekend I bought a new filter and a short piece of fuel hose for the inlet. The old hose felt pretty punky once I got it off and was likely the cause of the leak. I'm guessing it wasn't intended for alcohol fuel since it was from 1986. Short story is...the truck now runs great! Go figure. The fuel filter on these trucks are huge (and NLA) and the dirty crap that came out of the dirty side of the filter blew my mind. I'm going to keep a better eye on it from now on.
