Hey Randy, thanks for the response. I unhooked the fuel line at the rails (no fuel present) and cycled the key 5 times. Each time the fuel pump cycled but no fuel ever showed up. Is it possible that I inadvertently transposed the wire connections?

Are you using a vsppoworx tank with the returnless system? I read for the first startup you need almost a half tank to get it primed up

No, I've got a Tanks, Inc. fuel injection tank with a Vette style regulator. The return line is only about 12" long. When I was checking things over last night, there was no fuel present at the regulator either. Thanks!

I have hooked my tanks inc fuel pump up backwards doing some bench testing and it sounds close enough to normal that I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference. Very possible you hooked the wires up backwards.

Is there enough fuel in it?

Yeah, that's good to hear. I'm thinking that's gotta be the issue. It's got 1/4 tank of fuel so should be more than enough. I'm gonna take the gas back out and drop the tank to check the wires. It's gotta be something simple. I appreciate the feedback...it's a huge help!

Alrighty then, just in case there was any question about whether you're in tank fuel pump will supply fuel if wired backwards...it won't! lol it's those little things that make the difference!
