Re: 1978 Chevy wont get fuel
They aren't in the best condition, if they are worn at the end could it lose suction? I don't know if there is any fuel going to the fuel pump at all, is there any way to tell if there is a whole or something in the fuel lines without taking them off?

Re: 1978 Chevy wont get fuel
not generally at the very end, but if there are any cracks or rodent caused trauma it will cause issues. You might want to put a signature in stating what your truck is so that we'd have an easier time helping you troubleshoot.
I had a packrat gnaw at the tank to hardline on my K5. Punctured it just enough so that the pump wouldn't prime. Luckily I was able to replace it without dropping the tank.

Re: 1978 Chevy wont get fuel
Its a 1978 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4, Ill probably check all the fuel lines and see what I can find. I feel like there is hole or something in the line somewhere because when I blew air through the hose I could here it from the gas tank.
