Hi Have a new Tank,( mounted below the bed) & new line to Stock reconditioned Fuel pump, Truck has been running but now I find that fuel is not been devivered to the carb. I disconnected the fuel pipe from the carb & attached a clear tube to it. I then sucked thru fuel until it was visible in the tube.

When I stopped suction on the tube the gas ran back down the hose

Is the suposed to be a non return system in the pump?

There are two valves in the pump. One of them should hold the fuel in the line so that it doesn't return to the tank.

Sounds like the fuel pump is bad.

You can get a rebuild kit or new pump from most of the vendors.

Save yourself a dollar and pull the pump apart first.

If the "recon" fuel pump has had the valves put in incorrectly , it should be easy to just check them and ensure a proper installation is done.
