Fuel Pump Questions

without comments

Took some photos this weekend as I try to figure out why the gas from the right which is clean isn’t getting to the front of the car. The pump on the right (newer looking black one) pumps gas when connected to the left tank – but tank has rusty gas. It does not send fuel to the front of the car from the right tank. Changed the fuel filter which was full of rust and needed to be changed. When I disconnected the fuel line from the pump on the right going to the T – fuel came out – I’m assuming from the line from the other pump.

Anyways – am I right in assuming that there might be a blockage in the fuel pickup line in the right tank?

Also, notice on the left tank the rubber grommet that is partially pushed in and you can see light on the other side. Is that the inside of the tank or outside the trunk area ???

Need that service and parts manual? Does anyone know which of the CD’s that are floating around (like welsh) are the ones that JHT produced?

Lot’s of questions few answers.
