Yestarday morning I went out to move my vehicle from one side of the driveway to the other and when I was half way to the other side of the driveway it stalled. When I went to start the vehicle again it would turn over but it doesnt seem to be getting fuel. I can hear the fuel pump constantly running but doenst seem to build up any pressure in the line and the engine doesnt get fuel. Also the fuel gauge inside the vehicle on the dash doesnt read any fuel in the tank and I just filled it the day before and I checked to make sure there was no leaks in the tank even added fuel to the tank to make sure. Could there be something in my tank or is it a bad pump and pressure regulator.

Hi TRider88,

If it is confirmed that the fuel pump is working and no pressure builds up in the line, a leakage in the fuel delivery line is leaking or the pressure regulator is faulty.

If external leakages are not found, then you would have to check the lines and pressure regulator inside the fuel tank.
