Verry confused

My 61 c10 is confusing me a lot. So when the gas tank is full my brakes and clutch pedal work better. I don't know why it just confuses me and I won't complain about it but I just want to know if there is any reason to it or if it is just my mind.

it might have to do with the proportioning valve. It sends more pressure to the rear brakes, the lower the rear end sits. So inspect your brake system as you probably have a problem there.

I have no clue on the clutch though. I'm stumped on that one.

 


@mmj - good call on the proportioning valve. I forgot they had'em on the old trucks, a swing arm deal attached to the rear axle.

There is no connection between them.  It must be a coincidence.  What do you mean by "work better?"  Maybe the extra weight of the fuel in the tank makes it feel different.
