I'll make this short. I have been using an electric fuel pump on my c-20 over 10yrs. Just recently i had fuel supply problem it would stall and you feel through the gas pedal that the carb had no gas. A little later it would start and run then stall. Sorry short story is the fuel strainer in the tank was nylon and it was shredded. Just long strands of nylon like the blue tarps have, were being sucked into the pick up tube. They were still connected to the retaining ring of the strainer. The pump was sucking so hard, "how hard was it sucking" i'll tell you right now. it was sucking so hard, inside of my tank looked like a new tank. Long story short FUEL SUPPLY PROBLEM: CHECK THE STRAINER
