Hi all,


The other day I almost ran out of gas due to a faulty gas gauge. How I know this, is that the tank took 15.3 gallons when I filled it up. 


After filling it up it refused to start. I added isopropyl dry-gas, waited a bit and cranked it again, it kept sounding like it was about to start but never did. After too many cranks, I could no longer hear the pump whining. 


A friend towed me home and I changed the fuel filter (which was _FILTHY_, my bad), took off the pump and tapped it a few times, but - it won’t run. Have I killed it? Or is it possible I killed the relay by cranking it too often?


Thanks,
