No Fuel...????

[gotmud]

I got the beast to crank today....as long as I was spraying starter fluid into the carb. Im using a 64 tank. Not sure if it is different from the stock but the metal fuel line comes out the top and then exists the cab near the bottom of the tank. I put in 2 gal of fresh gas....its been about 4 years since the truck was run. I removed the hoses from the fuel pump and from the metal fuel line under the bottom of the truck and not a drop.

Could this be plugged.... Any ideas on what I need to do to clean it up to it holds gas and will allow gas to be pumped to the engine?


I sounded good with the pipes uncapped!

Check your sending unit inside the gas tank. The inside of my gas tank was all rusted and the sending unit was clogged with junk. After I replaced those two my truck run fine.

You have gotten some good advise. Try adding more fuel, at least another 5 gallons.

If that doesn't help, remove the sending unit on the tank. When I replaced mine, it was rusted and almost plugged.

If it still isn't getting fuel, check your fuel pump. It may need replacing, they get weak or just wear out. I have had one on a work truck (toyota), just plain fall apart.
