Title: weird fueling problem
Post by: GTD. on April 28, 2010, 03:16:43 am

Fitted a digifant GTI tank lift pump

now when I put the ignition on I see fuel going though the pump return line but the feed line is often empty turn ign off and the fuel back feeds up the feed line.

theres a little bit of fresh fuel on the filter arround the pre heater fitting

if I wiggle the inlet hose at the banjo when it starts the feed hose fills with frothy fuel

do i have a blockage in the pump feed hose and a dodgy seal on the preheat fitting?

looked for new clear feed hose on ETKA ETOS but it looks like they are deleted :-[
