    I could be wrong, but isn't the fuel sending unit just the part that runs the gas gauge?

      You're both right. When I jumped the test connector and got no fuel to the filter, I poked my head into the cab to confirm that the pump was running. With a deep sinking feeling I gave the gas tank a good rap with the ratchet, I think you know what I heard. I saw a quarter tank and didn't even think to check the tank for fuel. On a brighter note, it now starts on the first crank.

        HA!!!! My fuel gauge reads full when it's full, and then about 50 miles later, it drops to nothing. I always take a picture of my mileage when I fill up, so I can update my Fuelly.org . Yesterday at lunch I totally ran out of gas. Good thing my wife works just down the street and came and helped me out. You aren't alone.

          So it is the T shaped connector?

          My aqua wont run today and there is no fuel flowing through the lines. When I open the VAF I can hear a relay click but no liquid gold.

            It might be a bad main power relay under by over flow reservoir.

                  The test connector is the one on the top left in the picture on post #9 in this thread.
