There are some basics with any fuel system that I have not seen mentioned in all the posts on here about fuel problems--

Dirt-debries in the tank---you need a screen to protech the pump

Pump must be mounted lower than fuel level--is yours

If tank fitting is at bottom of tank and pump is lower then priming is not an issue but gravity will put debries into pump

If fuel supply from tank is up and out the tank top--gravity will keep most debries outta the pump but priming is a problem

most new vehicles use pump inside the tank--solves all these problems and is reliable

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR PUMP IS TONIGHT???


Most of these problems are self inflicted--fix the problem, not the symnond
