try to cycle the key several times you might have air in the fuel lines. Let me know.
I have been there and I know the feeling. I hope you are able to get it sorted out and I am sorry to hear of the problemsMMO huh well I'm sure you guys are probably right I just can't afford a new fuel pump heck even a used one right now.I was just hope for it to be something else, I guess .... Thanks for everyone's input.. Hey out curiosity would blowing in the outlet of an electric fuel pump cause a problem, would you then need .....??
You can't clean the filters on it because the one on the bottom is merely a mesh screen filter and the one near the top of the fuel pump module is the actual fuel filter. I doubt the filters are clogged with debris just because you emptied the tank. Everyone always says that running the tank dry is why you clog filters; think about it, the pickup mesh screen is at the bottom of the tank where any sediment would be so whether the tank is low or full the sediment is right there at the pump mesh filter. Same goes with water in the tank, water is at the bottom where the pump pickup is so if you have water in the tank, it matters not how much fuel is in the tank because gasoline floats above the water and the pump will suck the water first which is at the bottom of the tank. No, by the sound of it (or lack thereof) he probably killed his fuel pump by running it empty. I've always cautioned my family members to fill the tank when it gets down to 1/4 tank or so. Why? As someone clearly pointed out, not only does the gasoline lubricate the pump, but it also cools the pump so if the fuel tank gets too low, the pump will run a little hotter. Also, keeping more than 1/4 tank of gas is nice because you never know when something comes up and you have to go somewhere that's further than 1/4 tank will take you and you have no time to stop and fill gas in an emergency.
- OK is there a way to clean a filter. Which from what I think I understand, is a mesh strainer on the inlet to the pump. I'm not sure though??Or 05 CR-V have both???
