Its interesting that this thing uses gravity to pull the fuel down. I keep taking the thing apart looking for trash in the line. The first two times when I disconnected the line from the fuel tank, no fuel came out. Poking a metal rod up in the opening definetly opened it up. The first time I drained the tank and removed the aforementioned bag and spout. The second time I drained it, I could not see anything in there. The only thing I could figure is that the gas sensor float was dropping down in just the right place. So I reformed it (bent the wire). It isn"t being used anyway as all of the wiring has been ripped off of it. Now, each time I disconnect the line, there seems to be no stoppage. I have disconnected both ends of the line from the tank to the first filter and blown it out as you mentioned. Still has the problem. I even removed the filter mounting bracket to see if there was a problem there. It is beginning to look like I am going to have to drain the tank again and clean it out good. It really doesn"t make sense though. I would think that if there is trash causing the problem, it would not remove itself after sitting for a while and then come back later. I am convinced that it is a heat related issue causing some air to expand causing enough pressure to stop the thing up. I really don"t want to replace the filters again, them things are expensive! Anyway, the bleed screw in on the intake side of the filter, so I tend to think the filter is O.K. Guess I will tear into again tomorrow. At least now I know to quit looking for the pump. I may start out by bleeding at the injectors per Vet"s suggestion. Thanks guys.
