I went to replace my fuel pump today on my 86 GT-S and ran into another problem. while changing pumps i got a hunche to check the lines going in the tank. well it turns out the steel line that runs down beside the pump and bands at a 90 degree angle is apperantly clogged. what would you suggest doing. should i look for a new one or should i fix the one i have somehow. if so how. kinda up against a wall here. i'm gonna call around to the local yards tomorrow and look for another one for now. Any help would be appreciated. i need to get this thing on the road by sometime tuesday. i'm out of a car and have to borrow my dads old truck for now.

I hardly think it would be clogged. With the pressure and the amount of fuel going through, I seriously doubt it. Plus I've never heard of them being clogged.

Umm i aint smoking anything dude. I can't even get compressed air through it. so unless there is some secret valve I'm pretty damn sure it's clogged! whether it be rusted, clogged up, fused together, a tiny midget in it. I DON"T KNOW . But it will not let anything pass through it.

Where are you blowing the air from?
