    Default VL V8 commodore not pumping fuel

    Thought I better start my own thread.

    Anyway Ive replaced both pumps, external and internal, but I cant get the intank to pump the fuel to the outside pump, the kit had two filters, a larger one for the V8 and a smaller one for the 6, mines an 8 so I used the larger one, but the one I took out was alot thinner then this one, dont know if that makes a difference or not, anyway I pulled it back out and stuck it in a bucket of fuel, the filter and half the pump was in the fuel, but it still wasnt pumping any fuel through the pump, so is the pump faulty or am I just doing something wrong,

    Please like to sort this out quickly, my wifes getting sick of me smelling like fuel every day. so any help at all would be appreciated

    Rip it out and put a multimeter on the pump terminals/wire and see if it has power?

    Could be a blown fuel pump fuse even, or bad wiring or a relay

    All fixed, internal was a faulty connector, the external pump had the negative and positive oposite sides, so when fitted to the car it was running in reverse, so I had to change the connectors so they would fit to the new pump, stuffed if I know why that was the case.
