I have the 'out' hose on my '84 fuel tank in a gas can and the fuel is draining, very slowly but it is draining. Does the fuel always come out that slow? There is less than 1/2 a tank but I expected something more, in 10 minutes I have maybe an inch in my 5 gal can. I'm changing the fuel tank. After the 'noisy fuel pump' thread, the story related by Aaron and the lesson on old dirty tanks by Scott I ordered one from Volks Cafe on Thurs. A competitive price, the order was processed that same day, it was sitting here when I got home this afternoon and there were cookies too!. I can't really ask more than that. A quiet pump would be good and being able to use the whole tank of gas even better. I also ordered the tank reseal kit, new hoses and such down there sounds like a fine idea. Anything special I need to watch for with this project?
