I hope this issue can get figured out. It was definitely good to get the tank out so we can go ahead and fix the rust in the spare wheel well! This car still has ways to go! My Instagram / wes.martin_

For anyone having a similar issue this is what we figured out! There is a small reservoir in the middle of the gas tank where the fuel pump sits. The only way for fuel to get to the pump is if it flows over the wall of the reservoir or goes through a small tube at the bottom. My tube was clogged not allowing fuel to get into the reservoir when the gas level dropped below half a tank. After cleaning out the tube it allows the gas to get to the pump fixing the issue. Hopefully this helps!

My Celica Turbo 4WD ST165 is having a similar issue. It is not getting enough fuel when the fuel level is low. I found out after it started running well when the tank was filled full of new gas. I'm gonna be dropping the tank tomorrow to clean it and replace worn out parts connected to it. Thank you for updating us with your solution! - @celikal.185

@Wes Martin hey man! How did you go about cleaning that tube out?? I have the same exact issue of fuel not getting in there
@wesmartin8314 Жыл бұрын
@@dustiplite3067 So it was a little bit ago so my memory is a little foggy. I believe I used a metal pipe cleaner to try and flush any clogged articles out. I also used a spray cleaner on a long hose to try and force some cleaner through the tube. If that still isn't allowing fuel through the tube you could also create a new hole for fuel to get through the wall allowing fuel through!

I am very sure that the problem was that fuel tank was Less than half way when the fuel pump was installed, I also think it can be done with out lowering the tank, but I am not sure about this last one, Jose Alaniz.
