Thanks Harv.
Well….looks like it must have been just blocked. I must have punched through the blockage and when I siphoned the fuel through it brought all the crap with it. The first litre of fuel that came out was black and full of crap and smelt like varnish until the fresh fuel flowed through. I ...

Well if there was a screen on the end of the pick up line (and quite possible cause it took some force to get it off) I’m wondering if this screen floating around in the tank will cause any issue. If anyone has any info on this I would appreciate your thoughts. Oh by the way the car in question is ...

Well…. After a lot of mucking around and a lot of advice from you fellas I’ve had success!

Thanks so much for the tips fellas. That video seems to be very similar situation to what I have.

All rubber fuel lines are new
Have run the tests with the Petrol cap off and on with no difference.

Had another crack this afternoon and still no positive result! I disconnected the discharge from the pump and ran a hose from the pump to a glass jar and cranked the engine several times with coil disconnected. The pump failed to draw fuel from the tank.
Connected the jar full of fuel to the suction ...

Thanks everyone for the advice I’ll have another crack at it tomorrow and see how I get on.

I’ve been recommissioning my grey powered Ute (FC) after being off the road for over seven years. One issue I’m having is Im not getting fuel to the fuel pump therefore to the carbs. The fuel has been sitting in the tank for the seven years and as expected has gone off. I’ve drained the fuel tank ...

Thanks so much mate
