whilst fitting smithys fuel line kit toay had the plastic plenum cover thingie off, put all the new lines in, fired her up to check for leaks n stuff and whilst leaning over the engine got splashed in the face with petrol!!! sh1t me thinks.. what have i done wrong! checked all my work and its fine ?!?!?!?!

 

had a quick look around, and right at the front of the plenum , underneath just where the throttle cables are there is a little bit rubber hose one the fuel rail. which was literally SQUIRTING fuel out, onto the engine and into the fan (hence me getting splashed in the face!!)

 

30 seconds with a long thing screwdriver, (its a bitch of a clip to get to and was loose as fook) and problem solved! how it got that loose I will never know but that MUST have been the cause! not a drop of fuel coming out now,brilliant!!! :D

 

Something to add to your routine maintenance lists maybe? ;)

Good Vibrations baby - that's how!

if anybody else is getting crap mileage its well worth checking, you cant see the connection with the throttle cable cover thingie in place! Im dead chuffed I solved a problem all on my own! :D

 

Might start my own zed garage! hahaha :)

You can keep her now then :) ;)

i just had that cover of the other day, i'm off to check coz i get crap miles.

You can keep her now then :) ;)
