April 16, 20186 yr comment_547491 The mechanical pumps are really simple in concept. They either stop pumping because there's a hole in the diaphragm, or the lever that moves the diaphragm broke. Apparently the broken lever is not uncommon. You have to remove it to find out.

April 17, 20186 yr comment_547502 Something is bad wrong with the forum. For the last two weeks about half my replies won't post from my Samsung phone. I can't get the reply box to show. Cuts my replies in half. Laptop works fine but nothing from my phone. Not a big deal to me but the people I'm responding to get no help. Probably a good thing!

April 17, 20186 yr comment_547506 But, at least the big old text-covering ads seem to be gone. Positivity. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59879-fuel-pump-not-working-only-3-months-old/#findComment-547506 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sharp with the tech stuff. 8^( I prefer the Tapatalk app. It allows you to access other forums as well as the Classic Z Car forum easily. It is well supported and gets regular updates and is free. It also eliminates the signatures on the bottom of the posts to reduce clutter. Plus I never saw the ads covering the posts in Tapatalk.

April 22, 20186 yr comment_547855 Now would be a good time to check the tank for solids. These pumps were not meant for anything remotely solid. After a sabotage incident mine died a week later. Also install a filter before the pump just for added piece of mind. A glass one preferably. Good luck.
