Motor loses fuel pressure
Motor loses fuel pressure.
I installed a new alum fuel tank and started having a fuel problem. Driving at a normal speed and it will just die.I change the electric fuel pump and it didn't fix the problem.The pump runs at 6.5 lbs to a eddlebrock 750 carb. It does'nt happen very often but it could happen at the wrong time.If i pull over it will usually start up.It's not a heat issue because it has happened on cool days without the engine up to temp.I cleaned all the lines and filters and found no problems.The engine is a 460 crate 4 years old.The first three years did't have any fuel issues.I changed the tank because of fuel smell in the trunk with the plastic fuel cell.The tank is not vented but I tried driving with the gas cap open a crack and the problem didn't go away.The new tank was very clean wnen installed. painter |
My guess was the vent........but you might check to see if there is a filter on the end of the pickup and maybe it has something on it or it has a kink in it ......or your ground on your pump is bad.......good luck.

Driving at normal speed and it just dies?
Does the car make normal WOT power? Do you run a fuel pressure gauge within drivers view? |
