Went out for a ride tonight to warm up the engine of the Bugeye so I could
change the oil.  I got about a half a block and the engine died.  The Facet
fuel pump was pumping wildly, so I'm guessing that either the line between the
tank and the pump is blocked or something is plugging the pickup hole in the
tank.  This happened last week.  I could not get the car started in the
garage, so I removed the line from the filter at the engine and blew into the
line as hard as I could.  Heck, it started after that, but from the sound of
that pump the gas is not getting to it.  I hope I don't need to drop the
tank.  Before any of you arm chair quarterbacks ask, yes there is gas in the
tank.
