The fuel or feed pump is intended to supply the carburettor in your Peugeot PARTNER ORIGIN with petrol. The fuel pump is situated in the fuel tank. It is completely submerged in petrol and linked by a pipe to the high-pressure injection pipe in the engine.
The petrol Citro C3 with 1.4 L doesn't have a fuel filter if it only has one fuel rail.The fuel filter is built into the fuel pump.Citroen Company recommends changing the fuel pump every 10 years .Unless you ran your tank on empty a few times and overheated the fuel pump and it went out?
the fuel is constantly rotating round the fuel lines, the fuel is pressurized, so any fuel that is not used by the injectors is sent back to the tank.. this give a constant flow and pressure to the tank. the pressure in the tank is regulated by the pressure relay that lets air into the tank to lower the pressure. this is regulated by the ecu and your speed. if the pressure drops or is to high in the tank the engine can cut out on the fuel rail there is a fuel pressure regulator this keeps pressure on the fuel line coming into the injection system. some systems have duel line feeds from the tank for 2 rail systems, this system was not reliable due to the amount of feed pressure needed to fuel 2 lines. and can cause pressure leaks. some systems have a pressure regulator controlled by the ecu on the return line, this is more fuel efficient as it keeps the fuel at a steadier flow back to the tank and give a better fuel spray into the engine. hope this help you.
try under back seat big rubber gromit fuel pump is in there remove pump and drain or find fuel pipes on engine and use a hand pump bubble or 12volt pump to drain
Not sure i know where it is on this year ,To be honest i rarely need to change a fuel filter on a petrol engine vehicle .Diesel yes on the peugeot /citreon range of diesel engines as they seem to get metal swarf in them (long story) but petrol engines unless they have somehow got water in the tank with the old metal type fuel tanks via condensation but modern vehicles with polypropalene fuel tanks no problem.Anyhow to change a fuel filter then locate where it is and just change as the system will self bleed
This sounds like the breather pipe is blocked, there ought to be a small pipe coming from the top of the tank that allows air to escape when you put in fuel, if this becomes blocked then you are fighting tank pressure.
Another thing to try is to turn the pump handle through a different angle, sometimes they fill better from a different angle, again, this is due to the air pressure changes as you pump in fuel.
Without having a look myself i would hazard a guess and say that teh fuel line is perished on teh rubber flexible that connects up with the fuel tank sender unit .Honestly cannot see it being a blocked fuel filter as never changed a petrol filter in 40 years .Diesel filters yes but petrol never only on old old cars with ,metal tanks have i had to clean them out and the gauze filter on the pick up pipe in the tank.
The fuel filter is in the petrol tank. You will have to drop the tank to remove the old filter. Make sure the tank is empty as it is plastic so you need to have it as light as possible.
