The line was very long so I had to
inch forward and was stopped numerous times for a few minutes in
between. The fuel pump started pumping furiously like I was
running out of gas while stopped halfway through the line. The car was
still running. I got up to the first window to pay and the idle
dropped to less than 500 rpm. In a minute or so later the engine just
quit. There is over a half tank of gas in the car. I tried starting it
several times, but it would just fire and die. After several attempts
the car started again, all the while the fuel pump was going like mad.
After getting out of the line the fuel pump slowed down like normal and
you did not hear it after what I assume was a full float bowl. No
issues going home the 4 or 5 miles. Does that sound like my fuel pump
is going out or the tank pickup is clogged?</span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span>Mike MacLean</span><br></div></div></div></div>
