akyakapotter Posted June 30, 2024 Author Share Posted June 30, 2024 Went to prime the engine up the other week king lead off as i always do to get Fuel, Oil, Coolant ect round. A was going well oil pressure building. Then herd what I thought was coolant draining out onto the floor. How wrong was I turns out the braided fuel lines had perished inside and had pin holes in them fuel spraying everywhere. Decided I'd get some new fuel lines made up this time round got onto hel preformance and had 3 ptfe lined braided hoses made up. Thought awesome get them fitted and prime the engine up again ready for it's first start. 👌... Nope wasn't to be fuel pump has now decided it wanted to no longer do its job. Just got a fresh pump ready to be fitted then should be on for the first start fingers crossed. 🤞 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
