Major fuel pump problems, air leak, head gasket? - Dantheman1312 - 15-08-2016 Bosch ve fuel pump Peugeot 306 Pump has been played around with (max fuel screw and the top screw on the mushroom bit) Running on veg oil Cold starting problems Hot starting problems Lots of black smoke when foot is down No power When I start my car it misfires with a ploom of white OR black smoke although it is more often than not white. When running and up to temp it still misfires. I have a boost guage fitted and it reads 22psi with 50% throttle (this is unusual as It used to be about 18psi) I believe the pump is leaking air into the fuel beacuse it bunnyhops down the road at low revs. all the connections on the fuel system I have made are tight and good with no air in the fuel.

Veg does an incredible job stripping all the gunk out of the fuel lines, with all that gunk gone any tiny holes it was covering now allow air in the fuel system. Main culprit is the fuel filter housing, but old and tired leak off pipes, end caps and fuel pipes love to leak too. Don't forget the fuel feed runs below atmospheric pressure, so air is sucked in, instead of fuel leaking out. |
