Fuel pump needs priming? - Amazingusername - 21:st-Mar-2021 I recently had my fuel tank replaced due to a hole in the pipe s, since it’s been replaced I need to prime my fuel pump every time I start the car or it will just turn over for what seems like ages! Is there any way of fixing this?? RE: Fuel pump needs priming? - Jpbroad1970 - 21:st-Mar-2021 Should be self priming, I'd check fuel filter condition also. When I did my fuel filter I'd took a few turns before springing into life. I also had to have a new fuel tank as had a hole, I have an issue now though of tank not registering level correctly. I may have a look in the summer but I tend to fill up on halfway. You could also check they haven't kinked a pipe. RE: Fuel pump needs priming? - Amazingusername - 21:st-Mar-2021 Hi I had a new filter fitted also, it starts fine with stop/start just when it’s been stood for a while I have to turn the key and wait for pump to prime before I start it RE: Fuel pump needs priming? - Jpbroad1970 - 21:st-Mar-2021 Sounds to me like the fuel is bleeding back to the tank, don't know if they have one way valve or not but the pipe should remain full |
