Fuel pump/pressure
I have a 1990 motor home built on a 350 chassis. 7.5 engine. It sat for 10 months and when I took it out, it starved for fuel. Thought it was the fuel filter, changed it roadside, and it started. Only made another 10 miles and it happened again.
When I broke the line at the filter, I couldn't get any pressure from the pump. Finally after much banging and priming I was able to get it running again and home. Still not running right, and I don't know what finally happened other than I banged on the tank, and topped it off with 3 gallons of gas.
Thanx
Ron

Ron, this is just another alternative that some guys use to avoid pulling the tank. One thing you can do is pull up the carpet and measure carefully and use a hole saw directly over the pump and yank it out that way. Another thing some guys do is just put an aftermarket in-line fuel pump in the line near the fuel filter and run the electrical from the old pump to it. The inline filter will draw through the defective pump with no problem.
