1995 chevy van 22 gallon tank, has the internal bucket for fuel injection and the sending unit has the in tank fuel pump. 1984 to 1986 vans used a carb, so those years have a regular sending unit with no fuel pump. I am running FI so I used the 1987 to 1995 tank and a jag filler in the fender.

Hi guys.

Ran into a problem i stripped the roof and the b pillar. Then discovered my compressor wouldn't put out air to my spray gun. I removed the fitting at the gun end and air comes out but when i connect it nothing comes out.
Any ideas.
Also now that I've stripped it and its bare how or what can i put on it till i find out the air problem

Cheers

I am assuming you are in Australia based on you saying dodgy, and driving that white ute, and your last post says RHD.
