If it's not an injection tank then the fuel pick-up might be in the wrong place to get any fuel, but putting more in would have solved that temporarily.
Have you put a new fuel filter in? An old one could be blocked or if you haven't got one there could be a blockage in the pump.
blockage in the tank... hmm.. yeh, thas quite possible, sounded like there was somet stuck in the tank before we installed it, small stone or something, tried gettin it out obviously, couldnt, said fcukit after a while, guessed it was a ball valve or something, lol, mighta possibly got stuck somewhere, will investigate that one, thinkin about it, if the problems anywhere, its gonna be at the pump or behind it, so shouldnt be hard to sort out.
yeh tried givvin that bleed valve a few pokes on 2 different occasions, after our fuel probs started, and twice a bit of petrol came out of there, even tho we didnt get any flow down the lines, should be empty in theory that ?
edit : it has a gte tank now, its not running a fuel filter at this time.
The thing rattling around in the tank will most likely be the ping-pong-ball anti-syphon device, or the fuel level sender unit arm.
Did the petrol spurt out with some force or did it just trickle out from the bleed valve?
Does seem to sound like a blocked fuel line or pump now though.
Yeh, that would make sense.
The petrol just trickled out.
are you sure you have got it connected to the correct pipe???
Which end?
Rail end (looking from the front of the car):
The righthand side is hooked up as the feed
The lefthand side is the hooked up as the return
Fueltank end (its a gte tank)
The feed is on the backside of the tank
The return is on the front
Thats how its setup.
On the fuel rail, the feed pipe should be at the cambelt side? it is on every vauxhall engine I've seen?Quote:

No, on an XE the feed is on the right, return is on the left as you look at it from the front. The return will have the fuel pressure reg directly above it.
The Feed on the tank is the large outlet that comes out of the fuel level sender unit, and its on the FRONT of the tank iirc. The return is the smaller pipe on the back.
