Does anyone know if all the fuel in the tank will pour out when I remove the fuel pump

Have you taken the fuel cap off? With the cap off it really should pour out.

[ajf]

Not taken the cap off yet as its almost full. Pump has been tested and was not flowing enough. Might aswell replace fuel lines and filter while I'm doneing the pump

If your ARV is faulty (or stuck) then the fuel won't pour out unless you remove the cap as the air has no other way to get in? You should have a small amount come out initially but the vacuum should hold it.

What's an arv

...and don't forget to replace any low pressure hose (ie from tank to pump) with HIGH pressure fuel hose (that will not collapse when heat soaked).

iff you keep the alloy fuel filter thats STD to the cars upgrade to a gauze filter as I've seen the paper ones collapse we had this happen on a sidecar at the isle off man tt think there a rennet as aposed to 3 quid demon squeaks sell them

ARV anti rollover valve. It lets the tank breath but closes if the car rolls over.

I'd guess the fuel filter is blocked, it's the canister thingy next to the tank. If you clamp off the fuel tank hose, take it off and unscrew it, you can get to the replacable cartridge.
