Re: type 4 sees daylight after 15 years!

Hi all, Can't beleive how quick time flies!!! I've had this out the garage for over a year now so due to my complete lack of time to give it any attention, it's now with Volksfarmers. Can't wait for the long drive home when it's ready :D If any of you are down there take a look... Will make it to so...

Re: FI Fuel Return...

Hi Guys

Thanks for your help...I'm going to let my mechanic give it a go while I take a closer look at the old pump...He bench tested the old pump but couldn't get enough pressure from it - i'll see if i can clean it through as per the guide in the tech section.

FI Fuel Return...

Hi

I have a replacement fuel pump for my FI 1700 411 but it doesn't have a return 'port'. Can I just run the return line straight back to the tank?

Thanks in advance
