Fuel Pressure/Flow Rate

GarethW · 17th May 2015, 15:02

Afternoon All

Being a nice dry Sunday I decided to have a potch about on the car and test the fuel pumps. Firstly I disconnected the fuel line supplying the fuel filter and switched to position 2 ( I'm glad I put a container there as the diesel hammered out!)

Then I disconnected the fuel line from the tank, this time the diesel made it and flowed steadily but didn't have as much pressure.

I was wondering what rate of flow you should expect?

Many Thanks

Gareth

Pretty much what you got.

Cheers Mike

I unscrewed the fuel cap and I could hear the pump working so I'd say everything's Ok

Yes by the sound of it Gareth everything is running as it should.
