Hi,

From reading posts on this in the past there is a screen in the tank. this can be plugged. some folks blow it out a bit to free it up. But, if you have not changed the box shaped gas filter in some time that can plug up and have the same effect.

Since the car hasn't been towed home yet, I haven't gotten a chance to pull the post-pump filter outlet and see if there's output. But the pump doesn't sound quite right while it's still in the car.

What "screen at fuel pump inlet" are you referring to? Is that the white box between the tank and the pump?
