Re: 1948 1 1/2 Ton Loadmaster

Gas problems. New battery, new plugs, new wires...turns over great, just doesn't start. Took the fuel line off from the "out" side and there's nothing coming out when I crank. Put my finger over the hole and I feel no pressure whatsoever, so either the pump quit on me, or there is something clogged upstream. I loosened the fitting coming out of the tank and there was fuel in the line (weird yellow color, but it was still fuel). I guess tomorrow I will take the fuel pump off and see if I can figure out if there is a problem with it. I also have a sneaky suspicion that the tank wasn't too clean. What's the best way to get crap out of the tank? The color of fuel that came out of that line didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.
