I bought a 1981 Westfalia today.  10 blocks from the previous owners home it
started to run out of gas.  5 blocks later I coasted into a gas station
barely sputtering on fumes and had 10 gallons pumped in.  Now the van won't
run.  It will start and idle for 1.5 seconds and then it put-puts like it is
running on one cylinder and then dies.

What gives?  At first I thought sediment had clogged the fuel filter, nope.
I replaced that with no luck.  Could the fuel pump have burned up while it
ran dry for less than 2 minutes?  What's the large canister that sits after
the fuel pump?  There's definately no obstruction between the tank and
pump....I got a shower.

Here's another one.  The tank was bone dry when I added $20 of gas.  The
tank only took $18.50  (~9 gallons) and then proceeded to leak.  ?

Any help would be great.  -John
