Fuel System Questions

[Dead Parrot]

If your bed is still off, just run a temp piece of hose from the passenger sending unit to the frame pipe. Put at least 3 gallons in that tank. File the carb bowl through the vent if a Qjet. Get your motor running. Now connect your tanks, valves, and sending units the way they should be. If the motor quits running now, you know pretty much where the problem is.

If it will be a long time before you can work on it after getting the fuel system working, only put gas in one side. You don't want your next project to be dealing with two tanks of bad gas. Use your favorite variation on Stabil for the gas that will remain.

The reason for at least 3 gallons is the amount of unusable fuel in these tanks is about a gallon. At least that was what was in one of my tanks after running it until the motor quit.
