- I assume this should be full or at least half way full on the C10 350
this new pump has less than 200 miles on it

Mine was vapor locking when it would warm up. My cooling system needed work plus blocking off the exhaust to intake crossover passage helps if it's boiling in the carb I recently learned .
Great news!!! It worked. Fuel filter is now full, and it doesn't die on me at stop lights. Shiet it goes faster too because now it's getting the proper fuel
So what was it!
@@hybridmusclegarage4590 it was the fuel pump. It works great now. Now more stalling at stop lights
I'm talking bout mine just died on me yesterday had to crank it back up wondering wth goin on I know now
@sharodsmith5908 orileys and outizone fuel pumps do not give enough flow. I got mine from napa it's the one with most flow , compare them through the specs
@@gustavosolisjrwhich brand was the fuel pump from Napa?
If it runs fine then don't worry about it.
Check fuel lines all the way to your tank….you’re sucking air into the line
It was a bad cam lobe. 👍
@@hybridmusclegarage4590 who knew….never heard that one. Glad you found it.
@@thomasblevins1662LOL. i know. I did LS swap. videos on my channel. best upgrade ever. Thanks for watching
Don’t worry about how much gasoline is in the filter….. worry if your vehicle is running properly.
different engines use different amounts of fuel
different amounts of fuel will be in the fuel filters just worry if u see specs of dirt in the filter, then it needs to be changed, remember after dirt gets past the fuel filter there’s no filtering system that’s built into a carburetter carburetters do not have filters in them so change your fuel filter when you see dirt in it
What’s in the fuel filter as far as the amount of fuel is not the important part ,important thing is if see the engines is running well without bucking or stalling or smelling rich, if so then you’re fine
That is not correct holleys and quadrajets have filters in the inlet.
My truck bogs out and shuts of while driving do you recommend a better fuel pump? It’s electric out of tank pump
@@cheeriosdelgado7598 might not have enough pressure (fuel pump) Electric
Was thinkin the same I got a 350 in my MC , and lets says when u driving and hit a red light after coming to a complete stop , and press on the gas to get the car moving on a green light , the car starts to bog// choke // hiccup // when u try to give it gas after that little choke up the car drives ? What u recommend ??
Vapor Lock 😎 I have the same issue but only on hot days.
I'm having the same problem
I hate to sound like a broken record, but same thing here….!
I have a 1971 Karmann Ghia with a brand new 1600 motor… I put this exact same filter in line and I cannot even see gas in the filter. My car runs like a scalded ape … I don’t know how it’s running at all when it is running, you can see just a dribble of gas every once in a while in the filter, it does not stumble or stall… But I cannot figure out why the filter will not fill up even a little…??? I found this…👍🏻 THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR FILTER!
That is how those filters work on gravity flow systems. If the filter is only filling that much, that is all the filter material needed to flow enough fuel to run the tractor.
What you will notice is, as time goes by, the level of gas in the filter will get higher and higher. That is a function of the filter media on the bottom starting to plug, and the gas level needing to rise higher to find clean filter material and maintain the necessary flow. When the gas reaches the top of the filter, it is time to replace it.

@@iplaymytele This makes a lot of sense. I just installed one on my 71 Super Beetle and it stays about 1/3 full when running.
I put the same filter on my 350 small block with a Holley Carburetor same thing happens to me I’m guessing it’s this brand I’ll go back to the glass filter soon but if it’s not hurting anything might just keep it but what was your problem ever figure it out?
I have a 47 Chevy straight 6 having the same problem idle fine
When i see something like that, i usually put a little compressed air in the fuel line to push out stuff clogged in the line. Then try again, if it flowes better, the lines usually have trash or rust clogging it. Might have rust or something , enough of a blockage to cause it. Also the pump should flow about 7-9 psi.
Thanks. LS swap fixed my problems lol. But it was the cam lobe. It was worn down, Thanks
@@hybridmusclegarage4590what's the cam lobe???
@@Anaconda-squeeze Its a lobe at the front of the cam that the fuel pump rod pumps fuel.

I’m having the same problem after I changed my sending unit in the gas tank. Original one, it didn’t had a filter and it used to be full, then after I changed it to a new sending unit with a filter, the same problem you’re having is what I’m having. I’m guessing it’s the filter in the new sending unit, I’m currently waiting for the gas in the tank to empty so I can take off the filter in the sending unit
Thanks, and let me know how that works out!
You figure it out?
Same issue with mine. I did a test. Removed the inlet line from the carb and placed it into a clear plastic bottle. Cranked the car and the fuel was gushing into the bottle like Niagara Falls. I'm wondering if it doesn't like the carb inlet filter which is new. I have not yet tried removing carb inlet filter to see if this makes a difference. To be continued.........
Having same issue were you able to resolve it, if so how
Check to make sure you dont have a vacuum leak after or before the filter. Check the filter that is in the carburetor and lastly because it happened to me, make sure your fuel pump is on right. When i slapped on my new mechanical fuel pump, it was on upside down….🙃 i know thats dumb but it was my first time dealing with mechanical fuel pumps….
That's a large bodied fuel filter..I have a 460 with a glass filter that's half the circumference of yours..Mine is never fuel..It gets fed when it needs from the electric pump I have..As long as the bowls get what they need to keep up with consumption for the carb your good..How does it run?
Thanks man! it runs fine. I just found it kind of weird. Almost everyone I have seen are full at all times.
Having the same issue on a 80 Ford 4.9 300 CID .... Though I've yet to add the new fuel pump sitting in my garage ... I see the gas barely getting into to my clear plastic filter ( most of the time )
I have the same engine, did the new pump work? I believe mine was replaced by previous owner and looks fine but the filter isn’t getting any fuel anymore it died out today
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be full if the engine is on.
Wow came here looking for the answer. Same thing on a chevy inline six.
The motor is out already. I really think I had a bad cam lobe for the fuel pump shaft. Thanks for watching
Not sUre if you’re still having the issue but I was running lean enough to stall a few times, turns out I tightened the fuel filter too much on both ends and filled right up and works now
filter needs ro be installed vertical/not sideway
I'm having the same problem and I'm also getting a bad stumble when I stab the throttle I'm going to try mounting it vertically I've read that they don't like to be mounted horizontally like this but I've seen them mounted horizontally and full of fuel mine was mounted horizontally a year ago and it was full of fuel and I wasn't having this problem it's also a brand new electric Edelbrock fuel pump I've been trying to figure this out for a while now!
Hey rusty , same thing here... feels like I lost my top end speed
Did you figure it out? I am having the same issue on a f150 79. When I stab the throttle it stumbles and wants to turn off. My filter is also with very little gasoline.
I’d say if there is no vacuum leak then yes it’s not pumping the correct amount of gas I .. should stay half full
It was a bad cam lobe for fuel pump rod.
Have open hose going to filter
If it's not rust or junk clogging the fuel line , could it be the lobe that the fuel pump rides on is worn out ? ...I see that there isn't much gas going into the filter.
It was the lobe on the cam. it worn down. if you look through my videos you will see what I swapped for the 350. Its a beast now!! 👍
I have the same issue the fix to this problem is spin the fuel filter around and it feels right up it's a problem with that style fuel filter.
I always seen those full when the engine is running
Sounds like you have the pump lines flipped. Kind of sounded like it was pulling a vacuum
it was fuel pump lobe on cam. Pulled engine and did LS swap!🙂
Mine used to do this, i think it was a vacuum leak from a warped base plate on the carb, i doubled up the gaskets and reseated it and now the filter fills up fully while idling.
So I was having the same issues I changed my pump out 3 times thinking they were no good and I ended up taking it to the mechanic shop the mechanic says that is never going to be all the way full that that is normal
Its true, Cause it ran fine all the time. Just never full. I seen so many engines with this fuel filter and they were constantly full. Thats what threw me off. Thanks for watching.
So were you able to solve the problem
Yes. I did a LS swap!!. But did find out the lobe on the cam for the fuel pump rod was wore out on the cam.
A lot of carburetor's have a small built in sintered fuel filter at the inlet. Maybe that's clogged?
it was doing this with a demon carb I had before this Brawler install. This is crazy
@@hybridmusclegarage4590 Non-vented gas tank and the vented gas cap is not working? Fuel filter sock at sending unit inside the tank clogged or deteriorated or fuel line obstruction? My guess would be the pump even though it's new. Just throwing darts here... hope you get it figured out.
@@peteregger7928 Im guessing it's the pump .
everything else is good. Engine is coming out and LS3 is going in :}
Mine is like this as well. It’s runs fine but sometime after running it will drop in reverse like it’s not getting enough fuel and I think it might be do to this. Not sure…you ever get it figured out?
Maybe if you stand it up
I have an 85 c10 with the same issue. I’ve changed the pump. The tank and everything in it is new. changed all the rubber lines. I even put a new carb on it and it still does it. A friend told me to put an electric pump on it and I’m considering it. Did you ever solve the issue? Thanks
No, I have not done anything. As long as it runs fine I will leave it like that. Thanks
How do you think the electric pump would do ?
my engine is starving for fuel after a few miles, same deal, everything is new and i also have a new fuel pump.
@@dgiorgi1725 did you figured it out ? My truck is doing that
Hello Ed, YES the problem is fixed and here's what I found. The tank had some rust although not really a lot but it was enough to keep plugging up the filters. Also the Holley Fuel pump seemed a bit anemic after I installed a pressure gauge after the filters near the carb and also after the regulator. So I bought a new "Poly" tank and a Facet Fuel Pump. I even replaced the entire fuel line too. She is running extremely well and the pressure regulator is set at 4 1/2 lbs. Hope this helps. The tank shocked me because it really was fairly clean. I think the problem was the fuel pump. The facet came with rubber mounts and its so quiet and such an improvement over the Holley. Put a gauge after the filters near the carb. That way you will know exactly whats going on.
I have the same issue. My car is a mazda 323f 1991 hb. My original fuel pump was leaking so they changed it into an electric fuel pump. Basically it turns off while im driving. Multiple times. I checked to see if the fuel is filling up the filter but at times it did (after some time) and sometimes i literally doesnt get to the filter. So its like empty. Pls help :')
you need to see if you have a inline filter also.
IM having this same problem but it's on my 83 Ford F100. It has 2 gas tanks and when I flip the switch for the 2nd tank the gas goes through the filter like that. However, the first and original tank fills the filter up as it's supposed to. Does anybody have any idea whats going on? I've replaced the dual tank switch valve the hoses are completely clean and the gas is brand new with the cleaner in it as well.
Im guessing internal filter (sock) in tank. Clogged
I’ve heard the rubber line coming from the rear tank can crack. Not sure if that’s your problem but I’m dealing with the same thing on my 85 f150
Mine has been doing the same thing then it just turns offs then ill let her cool down and she’ll fill back up again like nothing happened!
Same shits been happening to my 73 k10 i got a brand new 350 in it but it fills up for a minute then it stops , i just replaced the fuel pump to be safe but its still happening i thinj it might be from the heat cause its been 107 the last few days but im thinking also the fuel lines because its been sitting for a while
Air getting in through fuel line leading to the filter possibly.
it was a bad lobe on the cam for fuel pump rod.
I'm having the same issue, except my 69 nova dies at stop signs. I know it's a fuel issue because when I change the timing and make the fuel pump go faster the fuel filter fills up. So...after comparing different fuel pumps from different stores I found that Napa has one with a flow of 40 compared to autozone 25. I'm going to change it tomorrow. If that doesn't fix it I'm going with electric fuel pump
My problem was the cam lobe for the fuel pump rod was worn. Not a common issue. I fixed it with a LS 6.0 swap LOL. Thanks for watching. A electric fuel pump will fix your issues also.
If your running a carb, you only need 4/5 pounds of pressure. any more than that its not going to stay running. Only EFI use higher PSI.
Thats not even filling up. You think it would be full of gas
I do not trust that that filter could end up leaking on a hot engine
Sucking air between tank and pump
Check the fuel line at the tank to the hard fuel line sometimes they dry rot or they can be constructed causing bad flow.
Mine won’t even start up or shoot out at all I changed the fuel pump ?
your cam lobe for pump got wiped. Mine was bad also.
@@hybridmusclegarage4590 at this point I might just go electric fuel pump
@@ivanarroyo1986 Thats going to be your only option at this point if you dont swap the cam. i ended up LS swapping the truck LOL. I have videos on it if you want to see it. Thanks for watching!! 🍻
Yeah cuz I took the old fuel pump out and the stick is all the way at the bottom and don’t wanna go back up to where I can put the other one in it
@@ivanarroyo1986 Thats normal bro. You need a small flat head screw driver to pushi it back up. If you need help, You can call me if you want. To much to write here, but easier to explain over the phone.
Change the fuel tank its rusted
It was the cam lobe.
I'm not getting fuel up to my carburetor I cleaned out the lines. Two new fuel pumps mechanical and electric, new fuel fuse , new fuel filter brand new sending unit. I cleaned out the carburetor.
And I still cannot get any fuel up to my carburetor.

Can anyone help me.....!! I am desperate my only truck that I have and need it rolling...
Not sure if this’ll help but I had this issue and it turns out I over tightened the plastic filter and it was constricting both ends. I loosened a little just enough to spin it and it filled almost all the way up. I was stalling out and running very lean before
@@serjburj8506 thank you for the advice I will double check everything
OK I found this and it makes perfect sense…!

What was the outcome?
Gas!!
@@hybridmusclegarage4590 what about the gas. I'm having the same issue with a half tank.
@@tesla747 I constantly keep a full tank. Im thinking the cam lobe for fuel rod/pump is bad or I have a bad (new) fuel pump. I have not done anything to it because a Ls engine is going in.
How you gonna do a video and not be sure of things that’s no help
Glad I could help!!🤣
It should be a glass filter. That plastic filter will eventually melt.
That engine is long gone 👍
It is low fuel pressure I would put on a new fuel pump and filter make sure u have enough gas in it!!!
