Miracle Product and a few questions

banter general discussions etc

Re: Miracle Product and a few questions by plee1974 on Fri Oct 16, 2009 12:03 am
Oh jobbies

i was putting some petrol in the truck 2 day and noticed some dripping beneath the fuel cap under her so i think that there is a point between the filler neck and the tank that must be leaking so that would mean that air must be getting into the fuel system if fuel can get out ..right???
How would this affect performance????

Anyone had this problem b4 and if sohow did you remedy it????

i`m still lovin it but its beginning to pee me off

Just check the filler hose, sometimes they split or the joint parts company with the tank, only a couple of jubilee clips.

Another update as mentioned b4 she is running well ....that is when she is running and not seeming to splutter.
She is spluttering from time to time quite badly and still almost stalling on occasion when coming to a stop.
When she is spluttering usually revving her quite hard can settle her back down for a while.
When she is spluttering it is as if there is a shortage of fuel getting to the engine but why would it be so sporadic and not a constant problem?? if it was fuel related.
As mentioned in one of my previous posts there is a fuel leak which i have so far been unsuccessful in sorting (need some bigger jubilee clips) but whilst i was under trying i noticed that all the fuel lines where pretty corroded looking so i was wondering if this pipe......http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOODYEAR-8mm-5-16-dia-fuel-oil-diesel-hose-petrol-pipe_W0QQitemZ290136698484QQcategoryZ9895QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3907.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BIEW%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D37%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D54

Would be suitable (not the diameter just the type) if so does anyone know what diameter i would require and overall length as its something i`m considering doing

Thanks Paul

Doesnt give a pressure rating for the hose. Typically fuel injected fuel hose is rated higher then hose for standard carburettor engines.

I would pass on it or shoot the seller a message asking what its rated to.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!
