Progress Report on Fixing Paddy - Update Test 15

Hmmmm Well I think I stuffed up!

Actually I'm hoping I stuffed up and misheard the diesel specialist's instructions. Basically Paddy started fine this morning as per usually after its been primed / bled. But this afternoon after work it stalled.

In my defense I thought it was strange the way I was installing it, between the Injector Pump and Fuel Filter. After all the specialist was indicating that fuel primer / hand pump was faulty (The little metal flappy thing that is part of the primer) and allowing the fuel to run back to the fuel tank so I did have a little alarm bell ringing, in that the value should be between the fuel primer / pump and the tank.

So I think when I heard him say "pump", I've assumed the fuel injector pump but what he probably had said between the Fuel "Hand" pump and the Fuel Tank, it was a noisy environment I was in when trying to talk to this guy.

This afternoon I put the 1 way value between the Fuel Primer / Filter and the Fuel Tank, so lets see if this configuration works :)

Mark
