I think there must be a check valve built into the 3 port djet pump
I believe mine is not working (Hard starting symptoms) Has anyone pulled theirs apart? Pictures or a thread? I'm also wondering if adding an in line check valve would work? |

My suggestion would be to recheck the lines under the tank.
If you are using a 75 style pump (inlet one end, outlet opposite end) then one of the two lines typically makes a 180 bend. My solution to having a kinked line under the tank is to take a piece of Stainless tubing and make a smooth 180 in that and use that for the supply side from the tank to the pump. I only use enough hard line to make a "U" so that I can get that out the access hole into the front trunk. With that in mind, I think I prefer them mounted just above the gravel pan next to the steering rack. Since you are using a old 3-port pump, I would suggest that you double check to make sure you are using the correct ports to pressurize the fuel ring and return to tank. Good luck. |
