On mine, the proof was when I disconnected the feed from the tank and hooked a fuel line directly to the pump inlet, and dipped it in a 2.5 gallon gas can. The generator fired right up. After some period of denial and trying other things I came to the realization that it was the rubber line.
On mine - and yours may be totally different - there is steel line that runs from the generator to some random point under the chassis where it turns to rubber. The rubber line then connects to the pickup at the top of the tank. That rubber line was shot. I couldn't get my tank out so I had to cut a hole in the floor to get at it. It wasn't pretty, but it was an opportunity to install tile in place of the hideous carpet in that area.
