Default Won't draw fuel from pass tank.

Had the c5 for a few years and it runs out of gas with half fuel so I just fill up early. Before I got the car the tubes that run from one tank to the other were replaced. the pass tank is full but does not move the feul to the main tank. I took the unit out today expecting a pump it the pass take to push the fuel and the stcok system is there but don't understand how it work as there is no pump.

Sure there is, it's a siphon pump, and receives pressure from the left pump to operate.
