odie,

First check the strainer in the tank by removing the fuel hose where it is connected to the the steel fuel line. If the fuel doesn't come out in a steady stream, the strainer is clogged. Do with this with the tank almost empty.


If the strainer appears to be clogged, drain all the fuel out of the tank and remove the strainer for inspection. If the strainer appears top have a brown silicon like substance on it, you have a fungus problem. Only way to cure fungus problem is to use a Biocide like Biobor.


If you get a steady stream, the strainer is OK. Then check the inline fuel filter next. Take it off and blow into the output connection. If you detect much of a resistance, replace the filter. If the problem still exists, replace the main filter.
