2006 Ariel Atom 3 (GM Motor) Starting Issue

Car won't start. I don't think it's the immobilizer as I see the gauge jump when I waive it by the instruments. It turns, but I don't hear the pump, but do smell gas after trying several times. Any thoughts anyone?

When you wave the FOB, you should hear the fuel pump start up. If you DON'T, then either the immobilizer is shot, or maybe the fuel pumps are bad. OR! There was a seals problem with the Brammo fuel tanks. They degraded over time, fell apart, and the pieces clogged the fuel pump intake. I can find more info on it if you don't think the seals have been replaced on yours.
