You may want to make sure the tank is vented correctly. I have heard of people having issues with that before.

10-4, tank is vented. I've confirmed after driving by opening the gas cap and there is no pressure/vacuum present.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey Payton, it is grounded to the chassis by the tank. The battery is grounded to both the body and also to the chassis. Would a ground cause a complete failure or just poor performance?
Thanks for the help!

Default I about burned my car
down by hooking the fuel pump direrctly to the battery once. Have no idea what I was thinking, I will blame it on the Miller lites.

If I can get a hold of Ron Schwarz, I will ask him his thoughts on our problem. He does not get on here often.

Is it sucking air are getting hot? Is that a race pump and not made for street driving?
