Low Fuel Pressure

Another dead thread with no outcome ?

Life gets in the way of things sometimes. Weather had been too cold to go out and work on it. I am currently testing the relay.

Work in progress, sometimes being in Az. it's hard to relate to working in hostile weather. Unless your working in the Sun at 110+

Dave, I'd call that (sun and 110°+) way hostile

Finally had the chance to troubleshoot with a friend I had been tracing the wrong power wire coming off battery. Found the inline fuse and it was blown.Replaced, all is good with solid fuel pressure again. So maybe fuel did gell?

 

[JR]

I don't know. It is hard to imagine fuel gelling so solid it would stall a pump out. In the situations I've dealt with I've not ever seen that.

Could be a multitude of things, poor connection, weak fuse, or maybe the motor drawing too many amps. Definitely keep a spare with ya just in case.

I would at least start shopping for a spare pump if you do not have one. Fuses will eventually blow as the current going through will heat the element a little at a time. Good to know you found it and a minor fix.
