Mike and I had an interesting issue after re installing his fuel tank in too big of a hurry. Mike's got company in town.
In our haste we (I) kinked the return line. It usually lays in a nice S in the bottom of the fuel tank well. We've installed a front end off an 83 ROW SC and Mike's getting ready for a 3000 mile journey in his 914. Car has been running great so we didn't expect any issues when we refilled the tank and fired it up. But no ............. it started like it had a bad miss. Not what we needed. I didn't measure the fuel pressure. I was too busy mentally going down the list of things we've touched. It sounded electrical. Then I remembered not looking at the fuel line dress under the tank. Not much room, but I got my hand up in there and adjusted the hose. Fired it back up and she ran like a top. Hmmmm. |

I clamped my air box over the return once. I saw 90psi on the gage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Ran all the way from Grand Junction, CO to Las Vegas like that. Pulled the regulator to replace it and took a 90psi gasoline shower. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) After I dried off I found the culprit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)
