Re: New 33 FBC Owner

You may want to check the anti-syphon valves that are located on the large tank fitting under the tank deck hatch. If that's stuck closed, you will not get any fuel. It's really the only thing between the tank and the filter or fuel pump. They are a simple, spring & ball check valve. Hi, thanks...

Unfortunately my port engine is burning Zero gallons per hour right now because I'm not getting any gas from to tank to the carburetor. Replaced fuel pump and filter but still no go.
Will update when I find the culprit.
