fuel question
 

the 1980 300d that i purchased was out of diesel i found out....

so refilled the tank and drove toward fresno with a full tank...which should get me there....

2 issues that i noticed....

i shut down like i was out of gas in glendale....fill up and put 7 gallons in

climbing the grape vine took forever .....

looks like i have to start out in slope and then climb to drive...is that an issue????

Sounds like clogged fuel filters.

yep, and if its not that then clogged filter screen and or tank is pulling a vacuum

yup, yup, I would try the pre and spin on fuel filters.
