I believe this is a manual fuel pump and you may have lost the prime, no fuel in hose to tank. If the hose from rear frame to tank has a break or hole, it will **** air and not fuel from tank. If this is not the case, possible clogged fuel hose, tubing, or pickup tube in tank assuming you have turned the engine over serveral times and there is enough fuel in tank. Some tanks do not pickup from very bottom because of water laying in bottom of tank from condensation.

Disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail and put a piece of hose on the line and put the other end in a container then locate and jumper the fuel pump relay (jumper from terminal #30 to #87 or whatever number is highest) this will pump the tank dry, then add a gallon if gas and pump that out as well. This shold take about an hour. This will work best if the fuel tank is warm as diesel thickens when cold. I hope this helps. Take care.

Okay, you need to make sure the fuel pump is getting power and that you have the lines hooked up correctly. Also, when you replace fuel pumps you need to remove the air cleaner and use starter fluid to get the engine started.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. Your fuel pump may be going bad. It is possible. When you turn the key on, you can hear it for a second or two. So, when you turn the key on, it is at its strongest during those two seconds. It explains the gas working when you turn it off and turn it back on. Gas goes from the tank to the fuel pump, from the pump to the fuel filter, through the filter to the gas lines, from the lines to the fuel injectors and the engine. That is your gas system. It could be a clogged fuel filter or damaged lines. Check them all. A fuel filter is around 20 dollars and a fuel pump could cost 125-235 dollars. Your pump may be in the gas tank. In order to check it, you have to take the tank off. Try the filter first. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks for using FixYa and have a good evening.

Gas in tank/line - nissan maxima 98. still wont start. There are two lines. One with an arrow pointing to the engine the other I suppose is the return. I seem to only get anything from the line to te...

if you are getting water out then I would drain all the gas/water out. Water is heavier then gas, so once you drain all the gas out I would put known good gas in, you may want to change the filter. First I would get all the bad gas out and put new gas in, take some wd40 spray it in the intake and get it til it will run on it own, once this is done I then would change the filter to be on the safe side. Hope this helped tim

How do i replace the fuel filter on a 2000 Nissan Sentra

Fuel filter for SRDE20B15 engines (00-01) are in the tank mounted on top of the fuel pump inside the fuel assembly. Release fuel pressure by starting car and removing the fuel pump fuse, open fuel filler cap, remove rear seat, open fuel assembly cover by turning the screws clockwise, remove harness, remove fuel line quick connector carefully (if pressure was not relieved, gas will leak, make sure to release pressure completely), take out fuel assembly (watch out for fuel level sensor and temp sensor thingies). Pop top off the fuel assembly and pop fuel level sensor unit with screwdriver. Remove fuel pump harness connector, quick connectors. Pop top off completely, pop fuel filter+pump assembly out, remove fuel pump bracket on the bottom of it. Push fuel pump down from the top harness connector, Take out the rubber grommet (very important - car won't start) between fuel filter and fuel pump, put it into new fuel filter, and reverse all the steps to close it up.
