Reply To: Fuel pump not working

[David SelfridgeParticipant]

Hi William

If you take off the pipe leading into the pump and fit a small piece of rubber fuel hose insert into a gallon can of petrol, make sure you fit a jubilee clip. This will test if  your fuel pump is faulty, if the fuel pump is working, then you could have a blockage or a small hole in one of your flexible hoses or the filter could be clogged (very likely) The filter will be at the top of the fuel tank (in boot) with a rubber right angle hose fitted, remove screws and withdraw from tank rinse with clean petrol and blow through with an air hose. If it’s completely clogged & heavy rust you may have to get tank fully cleaned (I tryed this once and holed the tank, requiring new tank) best to contact John Gillard or Chris at TOC Spares, for a reconditioned tank. If it’s the pump both these men will be able to sort you quickly.

Post again if you don’t have any joy
