I'm trying to diagnose a bad fuel pump. I've installed a new engine in my truck and I can't get it to fire up. I believe it's a fuel problem. I was told by the local parts guy that sometimes bad fuel will gum up the filter to the point that it will stop it up. the truck has been sitting for about a year. what I've done so far is I removed the fuel lines that come off the filter and lead into the rails. I then slid some pieces of rubber hoses onto the spouts of the filter and the other ends into a gas jug. I then cycled the key on and off several time without cranking the engine. I get NO fuel spillage. I don't even here the pump when I leave the key on and I stick my head under the truck.
shouldn't the pump be pushing fuel up the lines, through the filter, and into the jug at this point? can the pumps be heard in these vehicles? what should I check next? I'm lost at this point.
