I’m putting fuel in my gas tank for first time in a long time since restoration began.
When I had tank out I coated the inside of tank with 2 cans of red-kote.
Fast forward today I put 3 1/2 gallons of fuel in tank is that enough for my fuel pickup in tank to start the process to get fuel from tank to carb.
Before I hooked up gas tank I was running out of a gas can through the fuel pump an it would start every time and stay running.
When I hooked up my gas tank with 3.5 of gas it started fine ran fuel out of carb and then quit running. I cranked For a good bit but no fuel up to pump. So would It be as easy as just put more gas in tank, or just keep priming carb to it starts flowing.
I just wanted to put as little as possible of gas in tank just trying to get systems up and running before I put gas in tank
Thanks Tom
