I suppose it depends on exactly how much there is. Is it all in the nearside of the tank? If you had FFS and have been repeatedly trying to start the engine, the fuel eventually becomes concentrated in the nearside. The loss of delivery pressure (FFS) stops the internal venturi pumps from balancing the fuel levels.This leaves the pump pickup cup empty so no fuel gets to the engine.
Can you hear th pump running? If so I'd suggest adding a gallon of fuel through the filler neck. TC |

I can't think that this is either safe for the user or the pressure gauge. Quote:
Sounds like a much more sensible approach. I would have suggested listen for the pump running as a first step myself.

Completely disagree don't exaggerate. This is no different to using a Fuel pressure gauge as was intended via the schraeder valve, the worst that can happen is the user junks his gauge. Really unsafe is if they smoke during this procedure. |

Mmmm, I wouldn't fancy 'junking' a £25 air pressure gauge, using the simple old fashioned cheap bar gauge I can visualise fuel spraying everywhere - again, not ideal.
