The brass screen inside the gas inlet is clear and clean.  the needle and seat are new, and the float is mobile.  3)  The line is free and clear; in addition to being brand new, I blew it out with my breath, and it was not obstructed.  4)  I took the filter casting off and disassembled it, removing the valve core and the screen.  I used air to verify that all passages were free.  Summary, there *should* be an open passage all the way from the tank to the drain cock, but gas only flows if I loosen the seal at the sediment bowl.

Does it make a difference if the cap is on or off the tank? i.e. could the tank be vacuum locked with the cap on preventing flow?
