Since discovering my supply and return lines from the SS lines PO did are reversed been working to correct that. Now have all, correct I think, routing. But, since putting gas back in, she will not start. There is a little fuel going into the new fuel filter. Maybe that is correct but I get no indication she is even attempting to start. I hear some bubbling in the tank, that is it. What I did do is add a SS taper from Tangerine. You can sort of see it on the left there under the heat duct. Now I am wondering if where I put it, with maybe 8-10” of the smaller line into the filter is causing the problem? Causing too little fuel to flow?

Supply line (bigger dia) fits better on the passenger side, return on the driver side, but ultimately, only the connections matter. Location of the reducer won't affect flow.
I agree about making sure no kinks have formed where the hoses bend. The S,D,R on the pump are German initials but I like to think of them as S=supply, D=delivery, R=return. |
