    Running Out of Fuel - Half Full

    I had the same issue with an old boat I had years ago. " I can only pump 8 gallons into my 19 gallon tank" this is your issue not pumping gas out.

    It doesn't sound like you have a short, you have an intermittent open. Most likely a loose or corroded connection. Shouldn't be too difficult to find.
