Ran out of gas in my 1997 Chevy Astro 4.3L. Now it won't start. I can hear the fuel pump humming when I turn the key. I hooked up a fuel pressure guage and the needle DIDN'T MOVE. So I disconnected the fuel line from the "in" side of the fuel filter and turned on the ignition. The fuel pumped hummed on and a little fuel squirted out.
A little.
The specs on my van say it should be 60-66psi. But I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the key on, or try to start it. ???
Would it be safe to blow air from an air compressor into the fuel line in an attempt to blow whatever is in there back into the fuel tank? Or could that damage the pump or strainer?
First thing is why do you think you ran out of gas??? Possible the car still has gas and the pump has failed. But the question I have is how do you know it ran out of gas or are you just thinking it did and now it wont start???
