I will access the fuel schrader valve. Jump the fuel pump and see what happens! I'm surrounded by running diesel engines at the moment. Hope some of these guys go to work so I can hear the fuel pump.
I might just go ahead and order the fuel pump and get it on it's way up here. Time is my issue. I'm running out of time. If I order it today, I'll get it by Monday, assuming no highways close in the mean time. We are currently under a heavy snowfall warning and the main highway might close again.
And just to be sure, again, there is no inline fuel filter? All the filtering takes place right at the pump. That makes sense to me, I just want to be sure. The shop manual mentions one, but I think that is the diesel.

Ok. Finally found the schrader valve for the fuel line! OMG.
I tiny bit of gas dribbles out. Then virtually none while cranking. Let her sit for a while turn the key to position 2 a couple of times, and there is a small bit of pressure built up again. Then none. None while cranking.
I've put more gas into the tank, it's about 2/3 full and nearly an ounce of methyl hydrate.
I'm going to pull the trigger and get a fuel pump sent up. I want to keep trying to pump gas small bits of gas through the line so the methyl hydrate can work and clean up any ice that might be in the line.
While filling the tank up from a jerry can this morning I noticed how easily snow can slide off the window and roof above the gas tank while filling and drop right into the gas filler part of the tank. I must make sure I'm careful with this in the future.
Thanks everyone. I'll keep you updated.

Or, Ice in the fuel lines. Could always heat them with a torch... Just KIDDING!
