whats the most common things that happen when you leave fuel in your truck.mine all fire up if you prime the carb with fuel but once it burns that up thats it.i know they arent getting fuel so is it jelling up somewhere? where should i start to clean first. thanks:\:\

Cleaning Fuel tank, fuel lines, and fuel filter is a great start.

I've been in your shoes a few times I've left nitro fuel in my tanks a week one time in my MAXX I was on vacation & took my Slayer 4x4 with me & left my MAXX @ home when I got back I was like oh crap I left nitro fuel in my tank. So I emptied the fuel put fresh fuel in & had no problems....

Yeah, the in tank filters tend to gum up. You can kind of get flow through them again by putting some fuel in a squeezable bottle that you can connect to the fuel line to push some fuel through the stone backwards, then dumping the tank. Couldn't hurt to put some fuel in to cover up the stone and shake it a bit too to get the gunk softened up before back flushing it.
