Tracking down a low fuel flow issue, it looks like it starts with the flow directly from the tank. Sure, it's a small steel line, but the flow is very little. If the pump is not receiving enough, how can it push anything back to the engine. Drawing a blank

Are you checking at the metal pipe coming out of the tank, or a rubber line attached to it? If rubber line, it may be swollen.
If the metal pipe, carefully push a a piece of copper (soft) wire into the hose and tank. It should go in a good 3-4 inches. Just be ready if it clears out something, you will get all the fuel flow you ever wanted... If that doesn't do it, then probably time to pull the tank. If I recall, getting that pipe off while in the car is not easy. Maybe drain the tank using a siphon pump. |
