So yerp, swapped out the fuel filter and same result.

 

Goes to 12:1 at wot coming onto boost then starts running away.

 

I got the missus to check the fuel pressure in the driveway while I held the launch control on and the fpr is working.

 

Looks like I'll be looking in the tank. The Walbro 460 is about 5 years old and sat for a while (in fuel though) so it might be tired. Could have a leak in there too so yerp, better check.

 

I just filled up recently and filled my two jerry cans with E85, so I'll have to buy some more jerry cans to empty some fuel out to get the tank out.

 

Oh well, that's cars for ya.

When you say running away....lean or rich?

[Puffwagon]

Lean.

Out of pump. Try a new Walbro 520 and see how that goes.

[Puffwagon]

It certainly looks like that.

 

It was fine a few weeks ago, so either the pump is failing or there's a leak from the pressure hose in the swirl pot.

 

I was just looking into that pump you recommended so that might have to be the fix for now.

Even if it is the hose, if you have to mess around opening the tank and sorting hoses and the pump is old, might make sense to chuck a new one in anyway.

Very true Andrew 

 

Alrighty, Walbro 525 has been ordered along with convoluted hose and a few other accessories.

 

Should be here on Tuesday I spose.

Glad I could help!

Does the Terry have the FG style lock ring where you need a tool to pop it open, or 6x screes holding it down.

I miss the screw down lock ring on the BA...

[Puffwagon]

It's the screw type, I'm pretty sure. It's been a while since I looked.

 

Dunno how I'll go getting the tank out with the car on the ground. Last time I used a hoist and it was a pita then.

 

Eh I'm sure I'll sort it out.

Ah right didn't realise you had to drop the tank in the Tez.
