Why won't the gas in my fuel tank go in the carburetor? 1984 Ford F-150 302 5.0 Automatic?
I have put a new fuel tank, new starter, new battery, new fuel lines, the fuse is good for the fuel tank. I have at least a 1/4 of a tank in the fuel tank, i can only get it to run if i put gas directly into the carb, it won't flow from the furl tank to the carb. What should i do? Please Help.
Added (1). * i meant new fuel pump, not tank.
What about the fuel pump?
1984? This may still have a mechanical fuel pump instead of an electrical one? Check and verify. Also, you say you put new fuel lines in, but did you bother to bleed the fuel thru the lines to get out all the air pockets that would exist?
Sounds like it's time for a new fuel pump. Easy way to find out. Disconnect the line at the carb and turn the ignition to ON. If the fuel doesn't flow the pump is dead.
Is this a Fomoco carb? Does it have a small filter where the fuel line connects to the carb?
Does the fuel pump have three lines to it? One is the return line. If any of those lines are in the wrong position on the pump…
Needle Valve maybe stuck in the closed position. Open up the carb and check needle valve, seat and the position of the float.
Check the line that goes to venting the tank could be plugged.
Possibly a blockage somewhere or a bad fuel pump.
The carburettor float is stuck in position and stopping any fuel getting into the engine.
- Gas gauge issues 2001 ford ranger 2wd manual 3.0 engine. 12 gallon gas tank? The gas gauge fluctuates between 3/8 and 7/8 somewhat correlating to the amount of gas in my tank but it isn't accurate.

I'm hoping it isn't the float in the gas tank and would like to cover everything else before i drop my gas tank. additional information will be added as requested Gas gauge problems? 2001 ford ranger with a 3.0 engine manual transmission and a 12 gallon gas tank
- What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
- Ford F 450, 1997, gas gauge works, but switch won't go the second rear tank? I replaced the switch same thing, only reads front tank and rear tank stays full. I had the solenoid replaced on the frame 15 months ago, could that be bad again, that is over $400? I have two gas tanks, front and rear. Switch won't switch to rear tank? Reads front tank only, even when switched to rear tank. I replaced the switch, cost $62. The rear tank is full, Edith. It is full because I can't access the fuel.
