Hi all,

After flooding the boot with petrol from a broken hose, finding the tank full of sludge and rust particles I have fitted new everything including an isolation valve and inline filter. Will the mechanical pump pull the petrol through this installation - just seeking views before I fill the new tank....here is a image. Appreciate any help / views.

It will drain back every time the engine is stopped and the fuel level is low..

I would put the filter under the car.

Oops - didn’t I think that through! That said, Why doesn’t the fuel line then drain back into the tank as the pump and carburettor are higher that the exit point from the tank.

Thanks for the response by the way!
