RE: [Chrysler300] fuel delivery problem (2)

["Bill J" <bjj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Philippe,

Two things may be the possibility. There may be a filter on the feed line of
the sending unit. Later models definitely have one, not sure about 57. the
problem is having to drop the tank to get to it. Do you have a vent line? If
so, that may be plugged with something, try blowing air through it. Also
loosen your cap and see if it flow properly. Might be as simple as the cap.

Subject: [Chrysler300] fuel delivery problem (2)



Hi,
This evening i made several tests and checks about this *°#"/! fuel 
line. I removed 5 gallons from the tank (with the electric pump so it 
works well even to pull 1 ft higher ..), re-tried with pump  attached to 
sending unit tube : same results: bubbles in the (clear) hose, very 
little and erratic flow in the jar.
So, late test, i sent 50 PSI in the tank through the sending tube. 
"vraoum" i heard + noise of bubbles. I re-attached the pump and bingo, 
lot of fuel ( 5 quarts in 1 mn), no bubbles , etc... So there is 
"something" in the tank or at end of sending unit which plugs the tube !!

What i don't understand is that the tank was cleaned and coated with 
special epoxy 3 years ago !!! It wasn't rusty or dirty before but i 
cleaned it perfectly before coating !!

I haven't yet re-attached mechanical (or electrical) pump to fuel line 
but i think the problem is solved. But now i must drain the 15-20 
gallons of gas before removing the tank ...
