Default Tank problem

Hi, i have a question about my fuel tank, it seems the filter is blocked or someting like that, when i put gaz in the tank,
the flow is realy bad.. its not a continuous jet when i blow some air in, its realy slow like drop per drop and its not
enough to run the truck exept on idle and orwhen i use a little trottle (like 1/8 of the remote-controller). I have
try with another tank and it run realy well.

One guys who have a small rc shop here have put some ethanol and gaz mix in and he said it'll probably unblock
the filter but it didnt realy change someting. So if anyone have some clue i can try, thx a lot because i've buy my
car from ebay and getting a tank is like 3 weeks

P.s: Im realy sorry about my english its not my main langage and im not realy good, but its the only place i know
to ask question, and im sorry too if i didnt post in the good forum section.

Default RE: Tank problem

Ok, first do you have an inline filter? if you do take it off and clean it out, it should unscrew and you clean the filter screen. If you do not actually have a filter, then you need to take the nipple out of the fuel tank and try to stick a piece of wire or something in the hole so it curves down the pick up part of the fuel tank. Chances are you have a piece of plastic blocking the fuel pickup behind the fuel line nipple. Probably from when they threaded the nipple it, it happens some times, it puches the plastic back into the elbo and blocks the fuel flow. If you can't get it to clear out you will probablly need a new fuel tank.
