New walbro fuel pump issue

DIZ.DAT · 02-28-2015, 08:56 PM

So replaced the pump about a month ago.. Everything has been good. I passed by some e85 and got 5 gallons. Took the bimmer and put the e85 and filled the rest with 93oct. Took out of there like a BAT out of hell... Had to at least hit 100 on the overpass to my house. Park the car and things still good. Well i go out and gas is leaking.

Coming from the the tank. Looks like its coming from the top part of the tank where there is some tube about the tank. Well when I jack the car up it stops? Jacked it down and then started up again. Any thoughts?

If it's on the passenger side you may have pump or float sensor wires caught between the top hat and the o-ring. I'd check that first.

Yea popped the cover off. There was a little gas coming through. That big ring that you have to KNOCK the crap out of to tighten it up was a little loose. Its all good now. Thanks.

Glad you got it! The ring removal tool is definitely money well spent if you've ever struggled with this.
