Not getting fuel!
Ok so I have a 69 C10 with a 350 and electric fuel pump. It won't get fuel all of a sudden.
There is no fuel at the line that goes to the carb. If I spray carb cleaner in the carb. It will start but die when it runs out. I can hear the pump turn on with the key on. Any help? |

Re: Not getting fuel!

There is a sock filter on the end of the pickup tube in the fuel tank that may be plugged, or it may have disintegrated and plugged up the fuel line. Do you have an in line fuel filter on it? If so where is it and have you checked it? Even though the pump is running it may not be pumping fuel..... LockDoc

Re: Not getting fuel!
Where's the pump? If it's above the level of the fuel itself, it may not be able to prime itself. I had a big Aeromotive pump that worked fine the first time or two but once, after running out of fuel, I was never able to get it to prime again and had to move it in-tank.
Long story short, maybe the pump lost prime?
