That could also cause it. :doh:

Yea... Thanks again for all the help and suggestions. Im thinking when whoever stole my fuel, they somehow messed up or got my sensor stuck. The guage read exactly the same spot. Im hoping MAYBE, just maybe I can put a full tank in and free it up. Otherwise ill have to burn all that off and dorp the tank to replace whatever i need to because a fuel guage not working will annoy the hell out of me.

Smack the side of the tank with a baseball bat.

So...is it a for sure thing? Was that the problem?

RedSmokey · Jul 22, 2011

Looks like it. good thing I had an extra fuel pump, since apprently running one with no fuel will burn it up :doh: who knew!? My buddy doiesnt have time to work all the air out but said it looks like that was the issue. I will be able to tell you 100% on monday.

I would be suspicious that it runs out of fuel pressure or similar

Put one in the kill column for me. :biggun::angel:

If thats not it I have a Fuel pressure gauge and hose that mounts to the fuel bowl.

RedSmokey · Jul 23, 2011

Awesome, thanks Toby. I will let you know.

Soooo.... I put in 18.033 gallons when the pump stopped at the $75 limit. The guage before I filled up was just over 3/4 of a tank. Whoever the *** stole my fuel must have messed up the damn thing. So, not even full, the guage reads way the *** over full lol
