Evidently the 1/2 gal i gave it wasn't enough.  added 3 gal & it picked up
fine.



Before I hit The RR Tracks gauge read 3/4 full,  after it it still showed 3/4.
After taking everything loose & sucking up some gas it showed Empty!   Need to
check if there there  Lucas somewhere in this circuit!!

Thanks everyone for help.
