Still had an issue with loosing fuel pressure.
I treated the gas tank a month ago with POR-15 gas tank treatment. Inspected the interior of the tank last night and found chunks of the product blocking the fuel inlet going to the pump. I followed the instructions but it seems like it didn't adhere properly. I might of scr&wed up somewhere. I'll try to remove the chunks out tonight and hopefully these are the only one that decided to let go. I have this 17hr drive in a couple of days... Do yourself a favor, it takes 72 hours for the product to dry, tanks needs to be clean clean clean before putting the product. Get it done in a shop specialised that is used to deal with this. |

A few years ago we chased the same problem in a customers car (bug). He kept blaming my engine, he would take the engine out (3 or 4 times), bring it to me and I would put it on the test stand, no problem. Finally I said bring me the whole car or I'm going to start charging for all these test sessions. The guy was all pissed with me, blamed me, my engine....now he had to pay for a $100+ tow to my place.
Found the same problem, stuck in a new tank and it ran like a champ. The guy actually gave me a tip (didn't really cover all the testing) for all my (his) troubles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |
