Note that a non-electrical tyre gauge is essential for fire safety and that there is a distinct possibilty that fuel might be sprayed out as you press it onto the Schrader valve. TC |

T-Cut and Yorkshire GOC, thanks for even more useful pointers and info!
I'm happy to tell that you were right from the start: "From everything you've described, my gut feel is there's still a problem with the fuel filter. Did you replace all the o-rings exactly as they were? I ask because mine had the same problem after renewing the filter. I'd not replaced the large ring correctly before fitting the orange clip." Spot on! I was just so reluctant to go through the whole ordeal again, but luckily I did follow your suggestion. Thanks! The larger O-ring that is inside the filter capsule, sealing the two parts, was not in position. The first time I struggled a bit to twist the cap and the bottom together, so the ring must have moved then. This explains the gurgling sound (air in the system). I struggled even more the second time around, trying to lock/twist the parts together. It was terribly tight, although I had used quite a lot of lube. But I finally fitted the parts, and the car started the second I started cranking. No delay! Right on! I am very grateful for all help and pointers! |
