First,  Thanks to all how responded on my recent coil/ignition problem.  On to
my next TR challenge.  My '72 TR6 is experiencing significant fuel delivery
problems.

Facts:

-  Low (less than 1/4) fuel in the Tank

-  Car is warm, no choke used.

-  Car runs well great with full tank.

-  I get lousy mileage (10-12 MPG).

Symptoms:

-  Inline Glass Fuel filter is empty/near empty.  You can actually view  air
bubbles being pulled into the filter.

-  Car sputters and dies (well, it's not getting _any_ gas...).

My first thoughts are to:

-  Make sure I don't have any obvious air leaks that would cause the problems.

-  Then, check the fuel pump diaphragm is intact.

Any thoughts or tips?  Thanks in advance,
