Still had an issue with loosing fuel pressure.
I treated the gas tank a month ago with POR-15 gas tank treatment. Inspected the interior of the tank last night and found chunks of the product blocking the fuel inlet going to the pump. I followed the instructions but it seems like it didn't adhere properly. I might of scr&wed up somewhere. I'll try to remove the chunks out tonight and hopefully these are the only one that decided to let go. I have this 17hr drive in a couple of days... Do yourself a favor, it takes 72 hours for the product to dry, tanks needs to be clean clean clean before putting the product. Get it done in a shop specialised that is used to deal with this. |

Just got out of my fishing party...
What look like chunks of the product was only a small film of it. About as thick as a kleenex. Had a very large piece (about 4x3 inches in the can at the bottom of the gas tank and another smaller one). All well and done, put the ignition on and the fuel pump is clicking and clicking but not much is happening on the pressure gauge. Usually my bendix fuel pump will click and slow down when pressure is built but it doesn't (like something is still blocked). Ok I had just changed the fuel line between the gas tank and fuel filter (fuel filter located in the front trunk with the pump) so something must be clogged in the little tube sticking out of the tank. Pulled it out again... nope it's not that. I checked for kinks and everything is ok. The suspect is now the pump. And did I say that I hated playing with fuel? |
