That would be fun.
Saw this, also fun. Not for sale...
Long day of fuel issues today. I noticed 0psi fuel pressure on a climb last night before I stopped. No other symptom. Thought that was odd since I'd never seen such before and I'd just changed the filter a couple weeks ago. Figured id pick up a spare filter today just in case.
Well this morning just in case turned into must. Zero pressure more often than not, and taking forever to come back up. I was pulling minor hills at 35 miles an hour. Sadly, the hour wasted changing the fuel filter and cleaning the screen made no difference at all.
I was down to about a quarter tank of fuel so I sort of suspected potential draw straw issue. I went to a Lowe's, and got proper parts to mate the two hoses, and draw straight from the auxiliary tank. Again, no change. Very mildly better from the additional pressure of a higher thank gravity feeding. Very mildly.
I called ahead to UCI Washington, the warehouse where I was going to deliver. Smitty had to call a store to check the part number, but they had one in stock, and he grabbed it for me. After I delivered and installed a new lift pump. on the side of the road of course.
In addition to being a plain old pain in the dick, it gave me one difficult issue. One of the hard lines has a tapered fitting, and the collar would not spin on it. I probably spent half an hour working to break the collar free of the line. Think of trying to reuse an old brake line and its fitting.
