Disconnected line in tank
All of a sudden my MGT truck wouldn't work. Took me a while to figure out that the fuel line inside the tank that connects the pick-up to the top of the tank had fallen off. Just letting people know that this can happen inside the sealed fuel tank. I had never heard of this happening and I fixed it by pulling the rubber gromet out of the tank and using small locking pliers and reattached the fuel line in there. Keep it in mind. Also don't trust the battery pack/reciever "ON" switch on the MGT, mine was intermitent and figured "it'll be fine" which led to a runaway truck.

I had the line inside the tank fall off on mine before, actually it broke. I replaced the fuel line, but it wasn't very fun to do. I also had to replace the on/off switch on my MGT. I just figured dirt got in there. Luckily I caught mine before a run away occurred, special thanks to a good throttle return spring.

Flint MI huh? I saw a documentary on that town. The GM plant closed and the towns people went broke. It was sad.

I think I have the same problem. I need to empty out the tank to make sure, but it looks like a line has been knocked off somehow.
Oh well, there are much worse things that can happen.
