I agree with emissionwiz, pump may be making noise but I suspect little or no pressure getting produced. Would take a shop 10 min. to attach fuel pressure gauge & confirm.

After you dump the fuel in the throttle body it will continue to run on its own or die as soon as it burns up all the fuel you dump in? Do you have access to (Noid lights)? Are both plugs attached to the distributor?

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the rubber fuel lines being old and cracked. The hoses would warm up and fuel would squirt out of the cracks. I had to replace three fuel line hoses and it has been running great ever since. Good luck.

2004 Honda Element 4 cyl. has new fuel pump but will not pump gas up to the carb.

I'm not familiar with your vehicle (but I've just spent an afternoon fixing a similar problem on a Fiat..). It's an electric fuel pump?

Ok. There was some reason why you had a new fuel pump fitted in the first place .. had the vehicle been slowing down/cutting out? That is a symptom of a faulty/failing fuel pump, yes.. but it can also be other things.

The fuel filter was replaced? A blocked fuel filter can cause problems, though it's unlikely that no fuel would actually get to the carb.

Can you remove the gas filler cap and disconnect the fuel line where it enters the engine bay and get somebody to turn the ignition on? Fuel should literally spurt out. Removing the gas cap and disconnecting the fuel line will purge any air in the system. removing the gas cap also allows air into the tank and prevents a 'partial vacuum' which restricts fuel supply.

If you disconnect the fuel line and switch the ignition on you should hear the in tank electric fuel pump working.

You mention carbs ... Does your car have injection or carbs?
If it is a carb model .. a sticking fuel float will cut off fuel supply into the engine.

Your first action should be to disconnect the fuel line somewhere in the engine bay, and turn on the ignition. If fuel spurts out the problem lies in the injector/carbs.

If no fuel comes out the problem lies with the pump/tank.

Not getting gas to carb

It could be. Since you have a carburetor, you must have a mechanical fuel pump on the engine? Only some imports with carburetors had an electrical pump.

If your filter is in the line just before the carburetor, take the line off at the filter, then crank the engine over to see if the pump is working. Mechanical fuel pumps will pump gas when the engine is cranking or running. Use a jar or can to catch the gas. If pump is working, fuel will come out in small spurts. It's not under high pressure- carbs don't need high pressure. If no gas comes out of the line, you probably need a new fuel pump. If the pump is working, it could be the filter, but could also be the needle valve and seat at the carb's fuel inlet. Sometimes they get stuck closed and won't let gas into the carburetor.

Not getting gas in the carb. changed pump. poured a littlr gas in the carb good compression but dies when gas runs out

get a oil can the thumb operated type and squirt some oil down the petrol pipe and make sure pipe is upwards so the oil runs into the pump then leave for a while to wet the valves in the pump then crank engine to make sure petrol comes up or just refit the pipe and pour some petrol down the carb and watch it go

I have a 1990 gmc 3500 that will run only by pouring gas in the carb. It looks like a carb but it has wires and electrical components inside of it. I can here the pump working. I changed the filter. I...

It is call a Throttle Body Injection, that is why you see wires and electrical components. You stated that fuel came out of the fuel line with little pressure. It could be that the fuel pump is weak, bad injectors, or fuel pressure regulator. Have the fuel system tested to determine what is the exact cause.

1989 jeep grand wagoneer--no gas getting to carb.--

That may be right - no gas in the carb is likely a bad fuel pump, or a clogged fuel filter.
