More then a few days of sitting, especially if it was parked hot, will empty the bowl even with no leaks. If you still some gas in there after 6 days, count yourself lucky. Especially Texas in summer.

Recently rebuilt the Q-jet in the truck I just got, but have not driven yet, and noticed that it fires up immediately after having run, but the bowl completely empties if it sits for a week and needs to be manually filled so I don't sit there cranking it 'til it fills. The well plugs were sealed, so I'm sure that's not the problem. I'm going with the fuel running back down the feed line; the truck came with a plastic universal inline filter spliced into the hard line and the check-valved internal filter removed.
