Hi,
I have multiple problems due to dirty petrol and damaged fuel pump basket filter. The gauze was torn in several places. Initially this lead to the pump locking up due to some dirt in the pump. Having got it working I still could not start and noticed that I had a return of fuel to the tank when I initially applied power and the pump never got to the cut-off pressure as it should.
I think this must be due to some dirt also getting stuck in the pressure release valve.
I have an ultrasonic bath but if a bit of dirt is stuck in the valve with the pressure of the spring on it, I doubt this will just fall out.
Anyone know a trick I can try to flush the obstruction?
Many thanks.
