Ran out of fuel, put fuel in tank, truck ran good for 12 miles, parked truck. When I tried to start again it would start then stall. Changed fuel filter still doing same thing.
SOURCE: i have 1990 chevy pickup 1500 4 wheel 350 eng.
It sounds like the engine is pulling fuel from the tank, and not replacing it with air, causing a vacuum to build in the tank. The vacuum, may build to the point that it resists the fuel pump's efforts to **** fuel from it. If the vacuum is sufficient, it may collapse the tank, or expand the fuel enough for the engine manifold vacuum to **** raw gas into the evaporative emissions control system, hence the cannister.
Replacing the fuel pump, and filter will both break this vacuum, and make it run well for a few more miles, until the vacuum builds again.
The tank is usually vented to relieve pressure and vacuum through the gas cap.
Basically, sounds like a bad gas cap.
Try driving with the cap loose or removed. If that fixes it, buy a new cap. Preferably a locking one, as the amount of fuel these trucks hold is pretty tempting to less than honest folks. My 1990 C2500 has a 34 gallon tank.
Coil?? with the other symptoms, how'd you come up with that?

It could be your fuel pressure regulator, check this link for details:

That's what it looks like.

Best do a fuel pressure test. Should have chg. fuel filter from the get go. The only other filter is on the end of the fuel pump in tank. Bad gas and dirty gas will plug up fuel filter, hense burn pump up.

On the front of the carburetor where the fuel line comes in is the fuel filter.Did you change that?Take off that line and slip the end into a container,coffee can size.Have a friend turn over the motor,watch for fuel.If you get fuel your needle and seat have seized in the closed position.No fuel check the rubber lines that hook to the fuel pump.You replaced the pump,it's only $2 worth of rubber hoses.If they don't seal the pump can't pull the fuel,it's cheap insurance.
