| Post subject: | fuel pump woes |
Just been trying to work out why my 2cv wilk not run. As noted in my speedo cable thread, the car started but just died after a few seconds or so. If i disconnect the fuel line before the pump i get a good flow of fuel siphoning out. I thought it might be a blockage in the pump, but i could blow air through the pump to the disconnected pump to carb pipe. However, no amount of engine turning over will get petrol through to the carb. I hace driven about fifty miles since i got the car taxed, the pump was renewed wheb i changed pistons,rings and barrels. So the pump has run for about one hour in total. has my pump failed? Thanks, ben |

ben, it seems there have been some new pumps failing after a very short period of use. I dismantled one which I'd replaced for a customer and found that the plastic discs in the valves were prone to sticking in the 'open' position...  There's been some discussion about this on 2CVGB's forum, I think. ken |

Quick update, the replacement pump from Roy arrived today so I'll be fitting that when I can persuade the kids to sleep at night. |

Does anyone know the make of the faulty fuel pumps? |

Dont't know the make of the pump that is being mentioned already. But last year I brought a First Line pump which fitted but the outlet side was badly designed and made the rubber hose run so it touched the exhaust manifold so I promptly removed it and returned it for a refund. I wwould steer clear of first line pumps. |

Let me check the replacement, and the make of the one on the engine and get back to you. I hasten to add that the pump issue hasn't been diagnosed just yet, so could be a one-off failure or user error. |
