Re: SER1 Fuel Pump

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/09/10]

There was an air leak, but on the pump itself...  It gave up on me half way
home on its first journey!  I ended up taking the pump apart (again!) and
putting a thin smear of sealant round the joints, then put it back together
and it was fine all the way home!
