No Gas to the Carb When Engine Warms Up

Another anecdote.
My 77 jimmy would idle fine.
But try to move it or even rock it, engine would quit.
So i pressurized gas tank. There was gas squirting out from holes in the steel line. Fixed that but still had the problem.
3-1/2 gallons of water in the tank....
I'll check that after a run a couple of other tests. I drained the tank so there shouldn't be any water.
