[DML] Re: Fuel Accumulator

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

Last year I put a new pump in my car. Where did you buy yours? I got
mine from specialTauto, I got mine with the the check valve and
filter. BUT when I installed it, it didn't work and the car failed to
run good. Took me a while to figure it out-comparing the old and new
check valves-the old one had 4 outlet holes where the banjo fitting
goes over-the new one lacked these for some reason, so I drilled my
own holes and it worked fine. Make sure yours has these holes. My car
would run,  but poorly and wouldn't rev over 3K. Otherwise-there is a
few other possiblities, you may have collapsed hose in the tank, the
end of the hose with the filter may not be down in the retainer
enough, or the hose may be cut from the clamp on the pump... A hi
pitched sound is usually the pump not getting enough fuel and when
you're in the car it sounds from the transmission tunnel area. I
wouldn't run the car like this as you don't want to overheat the pump
and destroy it. Pull the pump out of the tank while the car is
running-it will still get fuel and you can see what the problem is
like this. Hope this helps-----Dani B. #5003
