A clogged injector line took me 3 days to figure out, felt like an idiot

Truck was losing power on hills, fuel pressure looked fine, I swapped filters twice. Turned out a tiny chunk of rust in the tank was plugging the pickup screen so slowly you couldnt see it on a gauge until it was too late. Anyone else ever chase a fuel issue for days and find it was something stupid simple like that?

Rust in the tank always sneaks up on you. Been there, worst feeling ever.

Remember when I found a mouse nest in my fuel filter instead of rust, @phoenix29? That little guy had chewed through the line and built a whole condo in there. Took me three days to figure out why my mower kept dying, and the smell was something else.
