Fuel system problem	Jon Pate	4-30-08
I have a 1985 pace arrow 28 foot. I can fill the fuel filter houseing up with fuel and can it to run but it will not pump fuel out of the tank. Jon Pate Red Bluff, Ca.

Tank empty? Hose or line colapsed? This can happen instide a rubber line. Filter in the tank pluged? Need to drop the tank to check. I usualy check this kind of thing by hooking up my vacume pump and brake bleeder cup to the line from the tank and see if I get vacume, whether it sucks fuel or has an break or leak between the tank and filter. Good Luck

I just went thru the same problems in my 1988 Pace Arrow 32ft. I tried several things including adding an inline electric fuel pump hoping to not have to drop the tank. No deal tank had to be dropped as the intank filter was nearly plugged. Didn't turn out to be all that difficult and I put a new pump in and all new rubber lines. All ok now.Mine has a 460 Ford. Good luck and just bite the bullet and get to work.

I did find the problem. There is a hose about 3 feet before the tank that had a hole in it. The strange thing about that it did not leak. Thank you very much david. Jon Pate

Check for holes in vent lines wont build up pressure

Last 2 answers are very good, also try using your compressor to blow air back into the tank to maybe unclog any debris, to see if there a problem with pickup. but remove fuel fill cap first so you can hear the fuel bubble or not.
