I suppose it depends on exactly how much there is. Is it all in the nearside of the tank? If you had FFS and have been repeatedly trying to start the engine, the fuel eventually becomes concentrated in the nearside. The loss of delivery pressure (FFS) stops the internal venturi pumps from balancing the fuel levels.This leaves the pump pickup cup empty so no fuel gets to the engine.
Can you hear th pump running? If so I'd suggest adding a gallon of fuel through the filler neck. TC |

I can't think that this is either safe for the user or the pressure gauge. Quote:
Sounds like a much more sensible approach. I would have suggested listen for the pump running as a first step myself.

Completely disagree don't exaggerate. This is no different to using a Fuel pressure gauge as was intended via the schraeder valve, the worst that can happen is the user junks his gauge. Really unsafe is if they smoke during this procedure. |

Mmmm, I wouldn't fancy 'junking' a £25 air pressure gauge, using the simple old fashioned cheap bar gauge I can visualise fuel spraying everywhere - again, not ideal.

Fuel inertia switch tripped ? Also have heard of non starts due to failure of the under bonnet master fuse.

In the bonnet fuse box - its the really big fuse - cant miss it - have been reported non start issues when it has failed/failing - also on the fuses you have checked clear the connections and check the connections under the fuse box to the starter etc - they have been known to chafe and cause non starting.
Also a classic non start on the 1.8t beside the crank sensor is a dirty spade connector to the starter motor worth a check if not done and give it a clean.
