Guys - I'm ready to fire up my car after it's has been off the road for 40+ years and the fuel pump can not suck any fuel from the tank. Fuel pump works fine but the suction pipe in the tank appears blocked. I've tried blowing compressed air down the pipe but no go!
It's the original tank that looks V clean inside when viewed through the sender unit hole but the suction pipe must be behind a baffle as i can not see it.
1) Does the pipe have a filter on the inlet inside the tank that could be blocked?
2) Does the pipe go vertically from the union into the tank or does it bend and run along inside the bottom?
I'd like to retain the original tank as it seems sound and holds fuel OK. Suggestions as to a fix gratefully received.
Thanks
