Out of gass
I tore that thing down this AM. Shit there is a lot plastic before you can remove the gas tank. The tank was pristine, no debris, no water and no rust. All fuel lines looked good and the filter was clear.
This pick up system uses an open ended metal tube that is routed to the rear of the tank. The delivery is an electric pump, that draws through an external filter, then the metal tube at the bottom rear of the tank.
I removed the sending unit to get the best access, the tube looks good, blowing compressed air through it confirms that it's not clogged.
I cannot find a cause for failure to deliver the last gallon of fuel. Upon reinstalling the empty tank, I only added 1/2 gallon fuel. Test running it and checking fuel delivery from the electric pump, all seems normal?
Fully reassembled and topped off fuel, headed to work 20 mi highway travel each way. Got to work OK! Must be some intermittan gremlins at work here. Hmmmmmm.
