Further on Susan's fuel system 200 1980

For those who didn't read the previous post, the car would idle with good
fuel pressure but faltered and died under any load. Fuel pressure took a
dive at the same time. I've checked and the fuel pump does run most of the
time but only puts up about 40 psi, and the in-tank pump seems to be running,
at least I can hear a whirring sound through the gas filler. We did have the
tank out and had it cleaned and repaired just a couple weeks ago so I am
pretty sure it is not a sediment problem. When I jumped fuses 5 and 7 the
pump ran intermittently but did not put up more than about 40 psi. The pressure
went down when I turned it off.

I'm pretty well convinced that it is the main pump. Think I oughta pull the
in-tank pump first, or fill the tank completely? It is about half full now.
I guess if that solves the problem we would assume that it is the in-tank
pump and if not, it is the main pump, Right?
