the supply outlet is on top of the tank but inside the tank there is a dip tube that goes to the bottom, sometimes on the bottom of the tube thee is a mesh strainer, usually the strainer and / or bottom of tube is slightly above the bottom to prevent dirt / water from being sucked up if there is any. depending on tank location / fuel level the fuel might be above or bellow the engine the fuel pumps should have no problem priming the line unless the check valve in the pump is dirty or sticking. eric

The engines have not run in months but are in good shape. Now that I am trying to start them I have a problem getting fuel to them. I know I have to prime the filters but my question is...The supply line comes from the TOP of the tanks, not the bottom. Therfore by the force of gravity the fuel sould run back into the tank and leave a airblock...right?? This would then be a constant problem. Anybody suggest anything??
