fuel filter change help

Post by scoob8254 »

alright guys

just had my fuel tank changed and the bloke who did it never changed fuel filter even though i supplied him with one, me being me thought oh well simple to change it.. now cant get blooding thing started.. i can hear a slight bubble sucking sound from new filter,, is it simply that ive not tightened it enough, it had both seals on the filter ?

Is it on the right way? Fuel can only flow through one way
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

the one in the engine bay ?

anyway crisis averted, the large seal on the top section of the assembly, the assembly with the heater element connector and the temp sensor connector,, the large seal on that wasnt sitting in its recess, so wasnt sealing properly i guess allowing air in.. again a guess.. anyway cleaned the seal up and managed to get it to sit in its recess with some jiggery pokery while i tightened the new filter up.. seems to have sealed ok now, and car runs fine.. just been for a blast up the A1 and seems ok

thanks for the reply anyway johnny :)
