no gas is being pumped to my fuel injectors, i took a look at my gas tank and I see there is a hose that is missing a clamp to clamp it tight to another pipe. can this affect the fuel tank pressure? or the fuel pump?

it's a 92 chevy astro van, fuel injected. the cs model rear wheel drive. what sound should I hear from the fuel pump?

it's actually the hose (3") that you pump gas into the tank through. a short 1 1/2 foot 3" hose.

If you dont see fuel leaking there, I doubt that is a problem. Can you hear the fuel pump running? As always, the year make and model of the vehicle in question is helpful for a good answer. I'll never understand why so many people dont include that info in their ?

If the hose is located in the tank and has a hole in it, then the fuel pump can be pushing the gas through the hole and then with the hole, the gas will just recirculate back to the tank.
So it is possible, and I have seen it happen before.
