RS4 Tank problem?
So I'm kinda new to nitro, used electric for years, and have been having trouble with fuel getting to the engine. I can see the fuel sitting in the line and when I try to push more fuel in, the fuel will move forwards a bit but then go back. Any suggestions? Sorry if this is a newbish question I still have quiet a lot to learn about nitro haha

Sounds more like the carb is blocked....but test the tank for leaks anyway....
Remove tank from car keeping both lines on and empty any fuel.....then submerge tank in water keeping ends of both lines out of water......finger over end of one line and blow down other and watch tank for bubbles....
If no bubbles then dry tank off and then put in a bit of fuel....blow down pressure line and fuel should come out of supply line.

I tested the tank and it didn't have any leaks. So I tried priming the car and could hear air escaping the engine. So I began to seal the engine and when I took the backplate off I found rust in the crank case, on the connecting rod, and on the crankshaft.. And I noticed the crank shaft is getting stuck a little as well.. So now I have a bigger problem.. Should I just start with a new engine?
