Re: Fuel not even leaving tank! Reaching desparation. . . 120-130 66

Justin;

Fuel bubbles but does not foam to any extent to be a problem. In Alan's post, he mentions starvation of the pump when using the original fitting(located fairly high on the tank side...I dont know if there is a tube inside which extends into the tank and down...has anyone seen the inside of a tank and can answer this?)...this is an important point though, you may want to get some more specific info from him and do what he did (first-hand successful experience is always best!). The other idea I had (if you dont want to drill new holes into your tank...understandable, but not that big of a deal-just dont use a torch) was to use the sender flange to mount the feed tube, which could be sized such that it ended just off the tank bottom-also preventing the pump starvation he mentions (and use the existing as the return pipe).

I think that before long you'll be sucking fuel (as opposed to wind), and be up and running.

Regards,
