More crap to think about.
Lets assume the fuel pump is up to snuff.
It would be very easy for the tank to be sucked tight, feeding it with 6 gallons at the time.
Up to 22 GALLONS draw per hour are possible with these V6's.
Not to mention the bubble, hose or hose connection being restrictive. Be sure you are feeding all of this with a 3/8" hose and fittings!
Again more info is useful!
Skools and FERM should be able to point a finger in a correct direction.
