![]() Not as much as before, but you can see it drop.īack to square one. She then stopped at the gas station and she coule see gas coming out. A lady at the school told her gas was coming out of the car. She didn't use it for a day, then this AM went out. So I told her to pick it up and take it home. Drove around the block a couple of times, no gas leaks. I also replaced the fuel filter and connectors for good measure. ![]() Everything went together great, raised tank onto car, all connections great. I am sorry but she can't pay $100 for an 18" hose. I also bought high pressure FI fuel line SAE 30R9 and FI clamps. So, I found the lock ring and O ring as a unit at Advance Auto Parts for $15 (dealer wanted $10 + $24). Jeff, I looked at it but I suspect there is a crack I can't see, more bellow. I suspected it can only come from the O ring, or the hose to the filter, the only places where gas could possibly come out. ThanksĪuto, my tank is a bit different, the pump housing only has one hose to it, which runs to the filter, and the electrical connection. ![]() I studied the video on Youtube from A1 and that helped a lot. In general, any tips on this job are welcome. Could I just use the proper size fuel line and clamps? I understand this will be under pressure, but is it so much pressure that regular fuel line can't handle it? My question : the line that runs from pump to the filter is about 18 to 24" long. The "dirt" missing on the top shows the areas where the fuel was pooling up. There are two possible sources of the gas : the O ring on the fuel pump or the line that goes to the filter. I studied the issue and got the tank down. It seems to pool up there and when she accelerates a bunch comes out. As I looked under it the gas seemed to come from the upper side of the tank, rolling around the sides. The fuel was dripping (quite a lot) as she drove the car. Doing a gas leak repair for my sister's car, have some questions. Refer to the appropriate model/year Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.Hi. The new turbine fuel pump will reduce the possibility of vapor lock in high ambient temperatures. Also, replace in-line fuel filter with a new filter (E7DZ-9155-A). Refer to the following Part Application Chart for correct part usage. If the condition still exists after all diagnostics are followed, replace the fuel pump with a new turbine fuel pump. Perform normal diagnostic routines as described in the appropriate year Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis Manual (PC/ED). ![]() This may be caused by a lack of vapor ports in the fuel pump, resulting in a vapor lock condition or internal high wear of the fuel pump components due to tank contaminants. A stall may also occur when moving the vehicle from idle. In addition, a no start may result while the engine is still hot and the vehicle has been parked for a short period. Your evaprative emissions could be purging into the engine at that point too, giving too rich a mixture.Ī reduced power, hesitation, stalling at low vehicle speed, idling and/or a no start condition may occur on some vehicles in hot ambient temperatures and/or high altitudes. Change the inline fuel filter (which can be done by someone with limited experience or knowledge), and if that doesn't take care of the problem, have a professional replace the fuel pump/strainer filter (sometimes the strainer is built into the pump and you have to replace the whole module assembly). After the vehicle sits for an hour or two, the "gunk" has time to settle, only to be disturbed by the movement of fuel after the car runs. Either one of them can become clogged with particles and quit allowing fuel to flow through properly. ![]() Either one of them could have sucked up some gunk when the fresh gas hit the tank and loosened up some gunk.įuel filters often cause problems like this. The filter on the frame rail (referred to as an "inline fuel filter"), and the strainer filter on bottom of the fuel pump. I'd be looking towards both of your fuel filters. Now that the lecture is over, on to your problem! Chances are filling up your tank while the vehicle was running DID in fact cause the issue. Not only is this terrible for the vehicle, causing the fuel pump to over work, but it is also a serious safety hazard. First and first most: NEVER fill your vehicle up with gas while it is running. ![]()
