If you still have the red-handled screw down type pump, it's probably leaking. Tank could be empty too -- it's not impossible for the fuel sender to stick Check the fuel lines -- if they are wet with fuel, they are leaking air and you can pump until the end of time and it won't prime.

You may have a combination of things. a small air leak can become no fuel in combination with a plugged tank screen. Here is my suggestion: If you have more than 1/4 tank of fuel: on the left inner frame rail the fuel and return fuel lines com up from under the car. Loosen the clamps on

Can you put on an ampprobe (clamp-on) to measure amps and measure volts with a different meter (simultaneously) and use that data to do the calculation? No. That gives you volt-amps, which is watts only if you assume a 1.0 power factor. You have to do the multiplication on a cycle-by-cycle
