Re: A new DMC owner with a problem



I would look at the internal parts in the fuel tank. Pay particular 
attention to the bafffles and fuel pick-up hose. Either the parts are 
missing, mispositioned, or old. A soft or kinked pickup-hose or even a 
hole could cause your symptoms. The fuel sending unit only controls 
the fuel gauge and low light, it has no effect on the operation of the 
motor. Drain the fuel tank and be extra careful working around the 
fumes. Make sure the tank is VERY clean inside. You will be surprised 
at the cost of the pick-up hose. Make sure the bolt is still in the 
tank securing the baffle assembly.
