Blockages.

If it was OK before and just ran out of fuel, I don't see any reason it shouldn't be fine now.

-IF- you can't prime it up ( and it will take some pumping!) then pull the panel up at the back to get to the tank and pull out the pickup and have a look. the holes in it are a bit on the small side and can easy get blocked. I slightly enlarged mine but the bigger you make them the more fuel will likley be left in the tank when it gets real low.

If you have a compressor then I'd also blow the fuel lines out while you have either end Disconnected. Don't be surprised to see a heap of black crap come out but don't be surprised if it dosen't either.

If you pump for a while and don't feel any resistance then I would prefill the filter and put it on as advised.
One of the upsides of having an electric pump is it does the hard work for you.

So, put all the plugs in the filter, take the fuel hose f at the IP, pump away 10 min and see how you go.
The filter is Higher than the tank so the fuel drains back readily and has to be sucked up to get it to the filter/ IP.

Another good trick is to pressurize fuel tank to help with lifting fuel up, of course one needs compressor and some sort of cap/plug at the filler. I'm confident that if the primer works and you've got enough fuel in the tank you should be able to prime the filter. Sometimes particularly when running out of fuel just adding 10 liters is not enough especially with larger fuel tanks. Another way to confirm that lift/pick up system works is to run a line from a jerry straight to fuel filter and see if you can get the fuel in to IP.
All these suggestions are on the extreme end of fuel priming scale. Just make sure fuel filter is properly fitted/sealed and there is enough fuel in the tank.

Hey Tonka, good luck with the job hunting mate, I was having a dig at the genuine bluggers and our retarded government not people that actually need the help if they choose to use it.


The simple fact should be if you dont want to take the governments offer to have the immunisations for your child for their benifit, stiff shit. No $$$ to make up the difference.

Back to the future!

I spent a bit of time over the weekend cleaning out all my posts. After reading this thread I just tried to log in and was presented with this little gem!

According to the mods I have "damaged" the knowledge base. Seems they think they own my contributions.
