Thread jack.... Hey TJ how ya doing bud Getting closer to getting your ride wet yet

Good advice as well, and why you should use a gas can then keep moving backward with what hose you disconnect and stick in the can.

The vapor locking is a good one to try. And I would in hopes it's not what I think it is. (You have no idea how much I want to be wrong on this).

I'm still convinced you have a deeper issue, yeah the tanks and pickups/tubes, the hardest thing to deal with of any scenario I know, and just what you DON'T want to hear. But you've checked and replaced all the hoses (Which are the same size I'm running on a dual 750 Tunnel Ram and Terry admitted running on a Blown twin Dominator V-drive, more than enough!), you've tried two different pumps, 1 mech, and 1 electric with basically the same result, so.

Bring the thing to Big River friday, and I'll ride with ya and when it dies, we'll open the fuel fills and see if that cures it. If not, well I'm right. If it does, FANTASTIC, easy fix, vents are plugged or add bigger vents, easier than pulling the tanks!

(I was told I had a vapor lock issue in the Blue Meaney. Don't think that was quite it,  given the result, More later on my theory on that ordeal, but I think it's related to your troubles, lol).

I forgot to mention that I did check the vents on both tanks. Both flow very freely, no restrictions.


The thing I think some of you are overlooking is that the electric pump had good pressure. Until it quit working it was putting out 11psi. That would lead me to believe there is no restricion or maybe it was the hose I removed that went from the fuel water seperator to the fuel pump. IDK...

No I'm picking up what your laying down however...you have had the same incident with 2 pumps one electric one manual...you said it yourself the pump you sent to clay smith came back flowing something like 21psi...automatically that would tell me something is a stir...honestly ask yourself if your missing something...the only thing I can think of is your sucking air from somewhere...I don't care if the lines installed are two years old I would replace all for a start its cheap insurance...#2 let's just say all that boucing around could have knocked some tubes loose on the pickup...I really don't think its the fuel pump however I have been wrong b4...looks like the problem just isn't going to solve itself...go get a 15 dollar autozone pump and try it....

-8 sounds like plenty I wouldn't even sweat doing the braided unless your going for looks...I got all the thread on stuff with rubber lines that push onto them...btw I run 3/8 fuel line as well...I think you'll be fine honestly I would dig into the tanks...I won't be on mead this weekend but possibly the following I can run out with ya in my boat and take a look see with ya...

I might as well dress it up a little bit if I'm gonna go through all the work again.


I'll have the pump and the lines in by the weekend and hopefully be able to take a run out to the lake and test it out. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Thanks again!

If you need a hand paddling, let me know. 

Haha! Will do.

The mechanical pump might have low pressure but it hasn't left me stranded. Yet...
