Good point....i will give it a clean and try and get the kink out of
the fuel line otherwise i will have to replace the connection ...my
new DMCH pump came with a kit of new shiny hoses and jubille
clips...didnt really want to have to use these... btw i thought these
sort of clips arent really designed for fuel lines?
Thanks
Mike
