Fuel lines

Post by hdavy »

Discussing problems with fuel pump have been advised to blow back down the fuel line to clear any obstruction. How do I do this? With my compressor (bit fierce), or foot pump or bike pump. Wonder how to connect firmly to copper inlet pipe?

Just try pushing a piece of fuel pipe over the end of the pipe and give a blow with your mouth, but make sure the fuel filler cap is off in case you build up any pressure and it blows back at you :o If it's clear there's shouldn't be a problem giving it a shot with an air line.
