Reply To: Fuel pump not working

Davy / Bernie

I have had a bit of time today to try your recommendations

I placed a clear plastic tube into a can of petrol and turned over the engine which lifted the petrol out of the can, so pump eliminated thank you?

I then unscrewed the protection plate in the boot to reveal the 90 degree bend in perfect condition and looks to have been renewed with new clips and no obvious splits, the screws that secure the tube into the tank are very corroded and don’t look to have ever been ever undone so I run out of time and thought it best not to cause any more trouble at this time as I have a full time job

My friend who is retired and mechanically minded is in Portugal on an off roading trip, he has proper tools and an air line which I can use to blow through from the boot to the pump to check for any blockage or splits and I think it is prudent to await his return next week before stumbling any further into dissconnecting anything into the petrol tank to investigate a blocked filter

In the meantime I have ordered some inline filters to fit as you suggested, any further suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

Best regards, Bill
