Jim,

Just thought I'd update you, just had a look in the tank and discovered the little Tea bag type filter on the pump was tottally clogged with a brown shite!!! The stuff was hard and when it dried out just crumbled away. Cleaned it all off and wiped tank around but it is really rusty inside.

I can only assume this is where it stood for 4 years with no petrol in the tank and the damp air has got in.

Worth looking at before spending loads of money,its easy to get out, this would explain starvation and my noisy pump. Its a lot quiter now its not struggling but I haven't tried it on the road yet to see if its cured. It won't help anyway. Also found leak on fuel rail but that just tightened up.

Will update you tommorrow after i do a journey today.

 

Anyone out there got a clean petrol tank for sale???? :rofl: :rofl:

Well, drove to work and holding back still there!!!!!! Still def feels like fuel :headvswal

Don't know what to do now, have changed filter. Will look at pressure regulator and damper, but tested them with vac gauuge and was OK.

Can't believe that the little tea bag filter was totally clogged and cleaning it out hasn't made any diffrence :confused: :confused:

Just a thought. Perhaps the pump has had to work so hard because of this that it no longer pumps as it should.

I thought this but thought i might see some improvement, well fed up.

will swap pump and see.

cheers for the update mate maybe when you change the pump it might sort it maybe its knackered by trying to push fuel through that filter for some time keep pluging away mate you'll get there if you needed a number for a good garage let me know good luck !!!

check the lines, Ill put money down that the brown shit is in there too.
