Removed front pump and hooked it up to a battery just to test if it is even active. Nope - dead.

Talking with Alan a bit...... He confirmed what I thought is another freakin problem. I have a blockage. Removed the main line to the fuel pump - ready to cap the outlet and the fuel basically had a fast dribble. So I am sure it took out the pump.

Explains when testing system pressure, hit a high of only 3.75 bar. Then started the pressure wouldn't hold - it was being reduced by the blockage and problem the front pump dying.

Flushing the tank next. New pump on order. My front pump was a 044 - don't remember installing that particular one (haha). It was a while ago.

Any recommendations on cleaning out the blockage. I have not idea what it could be since I had the tank "professionally" cleaned. Then I had it powder coated. The only thing I can think of is when it was cleaned for powder coating that the company I had do it, did not completed block the openings and their blasting media got in.

Thanks again guys. Hopefully I am getting closer
