why not run hose from the pump down the tank fill tube. at least thay would get you back on the road till you can find a place that's open-heck ya could probably drive it like that all the way back to the swamps

I just pulled in the driveway from camping this weekend I can look at that it tomorrow morning (Tuesday)if you’d like just crossed bridge.

Thanks to all that have reached out. We dropped/cleaned the tank last year, new sending unit, hoses and seal and it ran fine last Great Race. Mark Howes has me a close by contact if we have schedule problems at Coast Tire. It's a 1006 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, bad prime, half of pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we are wearing sunglasses!!!! Phish

Great Race had a Mustang upside down wreck (both folks survived), a brake loss on MT. Washington and a fellow racer blocked run away car with his 66.5 Stang to save a cliff dive (certain death), racer heart attack last night. GOOD GRIEF puts my little fuel problem in perspective. Hope I can make it back for USNATS. The blue car!

Shout out to Mark Howes who set me up with 1231 E/SA 71 Demon
Kelly MacKay . Nice shop, dropped tank and went thru every piece of the fuel delivery system. No major flaws so we think the screen (sock) in the tank slid and blocked the flow. Will set sail in the AM and see what happens. Thanks again Mark, Kelly and his staff. Great shop with great tunes. Phish
