Fuel Pipes

[leo2]

ok so im having trouble with air getting in my fuel and car running for a few seconds then cutting out
and then having to use the hand primer to get it going
any how as any one changed the plastic fuel harness them self and is it a big job any

Its possible, but its a bit of a nuisance, but since your already hand priming thats the biggest nuisance.

Overall its not a hard job, just a nuisance.

hi thanks for the reply been out there today took the air box off and had a good look
looks like a 5 min job its so annoying that I can hear the air getting in but can not see any thing and having to use the hand primer puts me in a mood

yeah just get it replaced, open the bleed nipple, then prime it to the point fuel starts to dribble out the nipple, then close it up and you should be good to go.

job done its so nice to turn the key again and not have to prime it 50 quid fix :D

Fantastic news, so all it took was a new filter?

no new fuel pipes with the hand primer think there must of been a pin hole or crack in the old set that was letting air in but not letting fuel out
must be a common problem as R A C was only here for 2 mins
