[JAGNUTS] Why won't it work?

[J. Betcher]

Thanks Mike.  I think you may be right.  The problem is how to unblock
it.  The connection to the tank makes a right angle turn into the tank
and I'm not able to coax a wire around it.  I tried using my air
compressor to shoot air back into the tank to no avail.  I am at a loss.
Any other ideas?  Anyone else?

Jeff

Hi Jeff:  Check the line where it comes out of the tank.  I had a tank
relined once, they did a terriffic job, even sealed up the pickup inside
the
tank. I pushed a coathanger through the fitting on the tank, and gas
flowed
properly....keep the trouble light and any open flames away, I lost
about a
liter of gas before I got the line fitting back on,,,,,,hope this
helps.....good luck....Mike.
