    Yes.... It ran pretty much the same. Low pressure pump has been ordered. While the gas in the filter looked like crap, but the gas I drained out of the tank looks clear. The pumps do have screens in the bottom, but I was surprised it was clean. I'm hoping this is the issue.... I'll see and...

    Well this has been what my next step is. That's with a clear line going straight into a gas can. But how's the dang thing running? Lol. Maybe The low pressure pump out and the high is trying to suck it up? I remember when I ran my high pressure test, it was not immediate. It took it like 45...

    Found the problem. The filter was powder white gas (ethinol).... Changed it... As well as a better fuel line. But put a pressure test on it.... 32 lbs is the best and takes a minute to get there. Where would y'all go from here? I'm not sure this one has the fuel screen??? I know Volvo...
