Re: [doc] FUEL LEAK DISCOVERED - HELP!

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Suprised there is anyone 'in' today... thought i was the only person 
not going to the fancy dress party at the UCI :)

Good points Nick...

...i would add, to have have a container handy to catch the fuel as 
it drains back through the lines or like me you will find out that 
petrol doesnt taste all that nice :)

Its not a hard job if the connection on the bottom of the filter 
comes off easily, in my case had siezed on and had to be replaced. 
Most others have better luck. If its a bit tough just be careful not 
to bend the hard line...


On refitting :-

Use new copper washers on the top banjo and fit this line first. Make 
sure it is in the correct 'orientation' so the flexi black fuel line 
isnt twisted or bent etc. 

Make sure the fuel line doesnt touch the exhaust manifold on 
refitting, i cable tied mine to the adjacent coolant line .

Check the ac hoses above the filter, its sometimes a problem with 
these rubbing on the top of the filter.


Disconnecting your battery and having a fire extingusher handy 
probably wouldnt go a miss either :)

Kind Regards


Mike

anyone got a "how-to" on replacing the fuel filter? It's something 
I've been meaning to do for a while but I understand it's a pain to 
do?
