This is on a stock 74 1.8 L-jet.
I just relocated the pump to the front and installed the SS lines. I'm not getting fuel to the engine, plugs are dry. I followed a post Darling made to connect the 3 port pump to the tank/ss lines. Pump turns on with key in the on position and AFM plate pressed open. Do I need to prime the system? I didn't think that was necessary since it is a return style fuel system. My only thought is a pinched fuel line under the tank after I set it in. Just wanted to see if I'm missing anything before I try to drain 5 gal of gas from under the car to lift the tank out. Dan |

QUOTE(r_towle @ Aug 19 2008, 11:35 PM)  you may have put the fuel lines on backwards???? Yea, I fear I may have crossed the lines under the tank or pinched a line when the tank went in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Tank comes back out tomorrow I guess. |
