need help (fuel prob)

Well I went to the track last night and made three passes.

The first was a complete pass the next two had problems. I would make it 3/4 down the track and it would just stop pulling just sputtered out. After my last pass I pulled the slicks off to go home and trouble shoot..... But the truck didnt start now.
It was actually having a some starting issues earlier that day but I dint think much of it.

what I know:
Can't hear fuel pumps
fscs is not tripped
shrader valve has no pressure
Fp relay clicks with ignition switch
no blown fuses
Could it be the hi/lo relay or are my pumps shot??
Any help would be greatly apprectiated.

Might have lost the pick up on the fuel pump. Common problem on the earlier trucks. Fix involves dropping the tank. Before that check all fuses and relays. Then check voltage at the pump.

Fixed!!

Turned out my CruiseControl recall had dripped brake fluid on my two relays (fuel pump hi/lo...and the other). Well the other was shorted.
The thing is I fixed the recal four months ago. Oh well I'm rolling again!!

Oh and in case your wondering how it dripped on the relay block. It was dangling around in the engine because I forgot to place it back on the metal tab.
