[Chrysler300] fuel delivery problem (2)

[Philippe Courant <accf-club@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 ...
