RE: [DML] Fuel boot

Chris, If there is fuel in the top of the boot, then there is a problem. If
the connections that I show on the site under fuel don't help you then you
can call. The wrong hose could be used or the connections aren't sill tight
enough.

Subject: [DML] Fuel boot



I have just given my baffle and fuel boot and overhaul and found that the
reason it kept filling up with fuel was that the fuel pickup hose connection
to the top of the fuel pump wasn't quite tight enough.

I have tightened this up has much as possible and there has been a vast
improvement but there is still a minute trickle of fuel still escaping.
Over 20 minutes it only managed to collect in the top of the ridged section
of the fuel pump and so the boot remained dry.  Will this do??  I had a
brand new washer on either side of the ringed piece which is connected to
the hose that feeds the pump fuel from the tank.

My only other thoughts would be some softer washers which would act more
like gaskets and would prevent any fuel from escaping.  The parts manual
suggests a washer for either side and those I used were brand new from a
vendor.

Does anyway else know if there fuel boot remains dry inside whilst the car
is run?
