empty the petrol,feed the black line (the fuel intake) into the tank and grab the end of it thats attached to the filter inside the tank. now you can feed a new fuel line through into the tank and reattach to the filter. hopefully this will solve your problem ive just done this but mine still wont start, either flooded or spark plug. by the way i bought mine new and the fuel line was split.
LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AROUND THE ENGINE FUEL LINES LEADING TO FUEL RAILS FOR PETROL LEAKS AND LOOK UNDER CAR AROUND FUEL TANK AREA.LOOK FOR LEAKS AT FUEL LINES.REASON VECHICLE NOT STARTING FUEL LEAK TAKING AWAY FUEL PRESSURE.FUEL LEAK HAVE TO BE AT THE FUEL PUMP FUEL LINES OR YOUR FUEL INJECTORS OR FUEL RAIL HAS A FUEL LEAKS AT THE O - RINGS.
Possible there is leak or a joint fault in the fill cap, the fuel tank filling hose clamp , the fuel line to the fuel pump , fuel filter.
Now since petrol is highly volatile a small gap can make the gas smell into the cabin. Please start your check from the tank to the pump and the return fuel pipe, checking for leaks which can be easily tightened or a faulty fuel line changed.
Hello, Your complete message did not come through as 1 word was bleeped out so I do not know what he pushed to get the diesel to flow. What usually happens on Diesel engines is they lose the Diesel fuel in the line due to an air leak. Most of the time the fuel just returns to the tank and fuel has to be drawn all the way back to the engine.
Because of the air leak the fuel can not be pulled up front to the engine. What is usually done is to disconnect the main fuel line at the tank and pressurize the fuel line with air from a compressor with a small amount of force, perhaps 20PSI. Then spray the fuel line working forward from the tank with a soapy water spray from a old detergent sprayer. The leaks in the line will make the soapy water bubble. Then fix the bad spot.
If having a compressor is a problem, there are small "O" rings on the connections under the bonnet. They are cheap, but you need Automotive type "O" rings to withstand the chemicals. There can also be "O" rings in the Injectors. It is also possible to have a clogged Injector which is not closing completely. This can show up in the 20PSI test, or there are machines which can test the Injectors at some Mechanic shops.
I stayed with the fuel idea as a problem based on your letter. But your son should check a part called a "TIMER" for the glowplugs as this part actually makes the new glowplugs your son installed, work. The timer can be tested with a Voltmeter or testlight. Since your son felt the old glowplugs were bad, the problem can easily be due to a bad timer.
I hope my solution is very helpful in solving the problem. You can copy this infomation with a printer in your home and give my advice directly to him.
I'd check the fuel line for holes, splits and bad connections. Then the carburettor, have any of the gaskets failed, is there any petrol leaking. Finally are any breather pipes blocked or disconnected.
That sounds like the petrol pickup pipe in the tank has an air leak and when the fuel is dropping down below the leak it is sucking in more air than petrol.
The most likely cause of that is either the gauge sender untit or the fuel pump itself leaking (if the fuel pump on that car is inside the tank).
you may have an air leak in the petrol line, probably where the fuel pump was changed.
the car won't srpay out petrol some time's but overnight the vacum in the fuel line ****'s air in & the system is not primed.
The only way you can check this is by priming the rail first thing in the morning by turning the ignition key to the point just before starting & you should hear the fuel pump run for about 4 second's then turn off the ignotion, wait for a few sec's & turn the key to same position, it will prime again.
Do that a few times & check for petrol leak's as the fuel will run back to the tank via a pressure valve, If you see a leak then you've found where the air is getting back in if there is no leaking but the engine start's then you will have to go over all the hose clip's in the petrol system.
If not that then get back to me !
