G'day. I have a 1981 WB 253 4 speed.

I was coming back from a trip the other day, and was running low on fuel. The store I thought I could get fuel from didn't have any, and I got home by vapours.

Anyway, I don't think I'd ever run ithat low. After a few days I went to go get some more fuel and it wouldn't start. After messing about, I realised there was no fuel getting to the first fuel filter, which is the one before the fuel pump. I pulled the fuel line off the filter, and blew into into it, back towards the fuel tank. Fuel started running for a minute, then stopped again.

I'm thinking that there is gunk in the bottom of the tank? or would it be in the fuel line? I can't get under it, so I'm just wondering if there's anyting I can do without getting it towed to the mechanic.

Any advice appreciated. Also, this ute was sitting in a shed for 9 years before I rescued it a couple of years ago - it's been a labour of love! cheers.
