That leaves:
1). Valve at fuel/water separator is closed (hey, its easy to do, but fortunately as easy to fix)
2). A clog in your fuel pick-up tube or elbow (I've experienced this)
you maybe able to disconnect hose and blow into it. If it bubbles the fuel like a water pipe, the flow is good. However something may be getting sucked into the tube.
3). A broken or separated fuel pick-up tube (Gonna have to go in)...
4). A clog in in your vent (should be able to hear or feel air as you fill tank)
5). You are simply out of gas  (I've experienced this thinking I had plenty of fuel)
Good luck. Keep us posted. |
I do have a fuel/water separator but it does not have a valve
Clog in the pick up . I blew into the hose and was able to blow back air into tank
broken or separated fuel pick-up tube Could be but the tank is full so I think it may not be that
Clog in the vent ...need to check but I want to say its ok
Out of gas ...its not a 4 stroke but I don't think it used 50 gals yet
Damm I hate this...........
