Yeah mine two on heritage site it shows a I tank outlet strainer.?

Andy,

Have read of this chaps issues on The Samba, sounds similar to yours

And get some more fuel in it!

Mark.

wow thats seems remarkably similar and yes they had run it very very low(below the white of empty) still confused one guys saying more petrol ones saying new tank hum intresting, also a pain you cant see inside the tank

Hmmm - Didn't a new pump resolve it? Or am I reading that wrong??
Though why he is still after a gas tank I am not sure??

Andy - have you tried her pump on yours and vice versa?

Em that post wasn't on there yesterday, yup but says she still needs new tank,
As for my sisters yes we have brand new fuel pump, but still petrol won't flow from the tank, so assuming either big air lock or like that lady, some kinda issue with the tank where u can't run it below 1/3...?

Hi Andy - yes that last post would make more sense if it reads "guess what? Still CAN'T run it with 1/3 tank...."

ok...Tank back in frame as main suspect! lol

Thanks for sharing.

Woho finally got it sorted

Hey guys, wanted to take her for a test drive and all seems fine woho
Basically we added more fuel that helped but then massive airlock so used a electric pump to pull it up, reconnected to pump and way hey,
To conclude if you run your tank empty then you need lots of fuel then a lot of air to bleed out
Thanks for help guys

And get your fuel pump checked
