i wouldn't
in theory that sounds all well and good but the fact is that if he has garbage in the line what would be the point in shooting the garbage right back in the tank so that is could be sucked up later on. tell your friend to do himself a favor and drop the tank and clean it the right way. it will save himself a lot of heartache in the long run.

i guess
well i guess you could use it as a temporary fix but i dont think that its going to help much cause if the clog is already in the filter sock then the clog is just going to come right back once the pump primes the system on startup.
first thing though, how old is the fuel filter cause if the fuel filter is clogged that could be your problem all together. next thing would be to start checking if the gauge is bad or if the fuel level sending unit is bad. hope this helps.

I have tried this temporary fix and it ended up screwing me. I dropped one of the carb cleaner bottle silver tabs that seal under the cap into my tank. It got stuck in the line after about 50 miles and so I blew it back up in the tank with compressed air. Then, about 100 miles down the road fuel shut off completely and she stalled and wouldn't start. Then I removed the tank and got it out in an afternoon and problem solved. Should have done that a lot sooner. Tell her not to be lazy as I was.
