If you jack up the vehicle and let the wheel spin, be sure to jack it up by the suspension, not the frame.  You don't want to damage an axle or seal. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

My Fiero gets a whopping 146 miles on a tank, then only takes a bit over 5 gallons of fuel.  I was running about 280 miles on a tank, then filling up, without running out, but it now loses fuel pressure at 146 miles.  This particular issue surfaced after fixing an issue with the sender arm hitting the baffle.

Any ideas?

If it loses pressure as the fuel level drops, I would suspect that you have a leak at the hose that connects the sender with the pump.  Loose clamp, maybe.

Ok.  Well, when I get a replacement fuel tank, I guess I'll find out.  Until then, not going far betwen fill-ups.

On my way home from work, today, my Fiero lost power.  At first, the engine was still running, but I could not maintain my speed.  I shifted to neutral, and could still rev the engine, but it was not running wrll.  As I cut across 3 lanes of traffic, heading for the shoulder, the engine died.  I cranked the engine, pulled back onto the highway, and drove home.  At the time of the incident, I had about 20 miles on the tank, and I drove about 11 miles home.  Any ideas, or is this still the loose tube on the pickup idea?
