Even though the pump makes noise when key is ON and the fuel is barely spurting through the line, could it be that the pump has failed and just doesn't have enough force to pump the fuel???
Please and thank you everyone.


One of my SIL's friends up Abilene way had a similar issue with his truck.

I took the cap off the tank, put my ear there and had him turn the key on.

Told him he was out of gas, he swore up and down he wasn't. Had him put 5 gallons in and it fired right up. He had a habit of not putting much gas in the truck, not sure why.

If you can do the same you can hear the pump load down when it starts pumping gas.
