I was driving to a local car show, when my car died two blocks away from my house. It felt like it ran out of gas, but my fuel gauge showed otherwise. I walk the two blocks back home and put a gas can in the trunk of my daily driver. I went back to the RT, poured the gas in the tank, but it would only run when I put fuel down the carb. I reached around down where the fuel hoses were at, and when I pulled on the hose supplying the fuel pump, half of the fuel pump came right off the car. Being only two blocks from home, I really didn’t wanna call for a tow truck. I went back home and got a 1 gallon, plastic, gas jug, and attached a fuel line to the air inlet of the jug. I hooked up the other end of the fuel hose to the gas filter. I had to blow into the spout of the gas jug to get gas into the carb. I had to do that two more times in order to get it all the way home. Has anyone ever seen a pump break like this?
