    Quality is right. I switched mine over to bottom feed when this happened to me. When you take the siphon tubes out, shine a light down in the tank to make sure nothing is floating around in there.

    im almost certain this tank doesnt have those type of tubes to come out. the 2 fuel lines go into welded bungs on the tank it looks like

    It has to have a pick up tube of some sort or be fed with the fuel lines coming out the bottom of the tank. No ifs ands or buts about it, the laws of physics do not make exceptions.

    thanks for the response. i actually had did this same exact mod..but when it kept cutting off i switched it back. friend of mine showed me this...he just ran the hose driectly to the fuel filter and bypassed that block..which is what i did. actually thinking of putting it back that way.

    im pretty sure my problem lies with the tank...i keep it topped off and havent had any issues. once i get around to finding another tank ill swap it in and let it get low and report what happens
     
    Bakerman and Heavyd Thank this.

    quick question...ill be putting my tank in soon.

    its not the same tank from an international...but its the same setup. its a single 80 gallon with 2 ports on top and a breather hose. my question is...how can i tell which port is the return and which is the suction?
