Andrew to check the tank breathers if i undid the fuel cap then the fuel would flow ?
ta Jeff Jeff, Fuel will gravity feed even if the car is on a flat surface etc, if your outlet is at a height lower than the fuel level in your tank. So if you pull the fuel filter and move the flexible fuel line down to less than the tank height (which you can guesstimate), if nothing comes out theres some restriction. Another scenario is that the tank breathers are blocked, which would also not allow fuel to flow by gravity.
