scooterhulk Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I just put my car back together after my budget restoration. I had removed the fuel tank and painted it. When I reinstalled it, I had some difficulty finding anything to reference where the fuel tank nipples connect to, but I connected the bottom nipple to the outgoing fuel filter. The fuel pump is kicking on, and there is a little gas in the bottom of the filter, but it doesn't seem to be building pressure. I replaced the rubber lines under the car and have them tightly hose-clamped into place. If it matters, my car does not have a charcoal canister under the hood. The metal fuel line that connects to the canister is sitting open. The tank has ~7 gallons in it. Maybe the fuel tank doesn't have enough fuel for the pump to prime? Thoughts?

78zstyle Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 My money is on that you hooked up your lines backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterhulk Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 I suppose it's possible. It's just a little weird that the OUT would be the top nipple. But, that may be what it is. I'll swap em and see what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
