Need Help!!!!

Ok, I am not getting fuel running through my system. I have a elect. fuel pump set up 12 inches from my tank and I have no fuel coming from the tank. The pump is working, just pushing air??? Yes it and the filter are the correct way and gas is in the tank. What did you guys do with the return line from the original pump? I have it blocked off. Does the tank require pressure from the return line? How do you guys have electric pumps set up on your 22r? Thanks

maybe your delivery pipe ( usually where it bolts onto the tank) is cracked ? and just sucking air ? ..

That or he has his fuel pickup line on the return line on the delivery pipe, that was a mistake I made, first thing I thought of though.

I am sure I am using the correct line comming out of the tank. I blew air through and found which one was hooked up to the return. Does the tank need to be pressurized by the stock return line? I am planning on draining and pulling the tank tomorrow. Since I have 10 gallons in the tank I am hoping I don't have too.

Update

So it ended up being a pluged intake line. The one in the tank. It looks like the hard line is deteriating and pluged it up. I went to schucks and no luck on the screen in the tank, the gasket for the tank or the whole intake assembly. Now I am looking online, I sure don't want to end up at the dealer.
