My problem is: I can't get any gas to run out of the fuel hook up on the tank, is there a no backflo valve inside the pick up tube or is it plugged....I have blown it out with compressed air but still no luck getting it to flo out......help!!!!!!!!

The pick up tube inside connects to the outlet fitting and then curves down to about the center of the tank. If you tip the tank with out much liquid in the tank, it flows away from the pick up end of the tube.
If you can blow through it it should be fine.
