Hey all
I have just removed the pickup from the tank in my XE falcon... I have installed a BG 220 pump with external bypass and was having some issues...
After driving it hard for about 30mins it would run out of fuel, the pump would stop priming.. I had to wait for the pump to cool down and it would prime then i could continue home.
I thought it was the filter maybe at the bottom of the pickup, but after taking the pickup out, I have reliased the return pipe is either broken or never went to the bottom
so the return fuel would have been getting air raided which would not have helped....
i also removed the filter and tried to run water through it, almost water proof
Ok, so the plan is to have someone remove the two tube peices and braise in some new larger tube... I know people have done this before but is there a way of saving the sender unit? what exactly stuffs them, just the heat?
what size tube have you guys managed to get in there? and who did you use?
i live in a fairly small town and i think it would have to be a metal turner or radiator shop for this job, not sure... who'd you use?
cheers all, can't wait to get this small problem fixed as i havn't had fun hitting 6k rpm for ages!!! I did at powercruise, but had fuel dramas all day which kinda almost stuffed the fun
cheers!!
Also these show a bit;
