Can anyone suggest a good source for a new fuel tank? I ordered a new tank from the Van-Cafe guys, but they are fresh out without a source for more. After a month going through every other system, I finally tracked the running problems of my I4 conversion to a restricted fuel tank outlet. The low flow was making the fuel pump cavitate, aerating the fuel, and making the pump intermittently noisy. I could hear and feel the air pass through the return line. The engine burps, misses and fluctuates at all speeds. I finally pulled the fuel supply line off the nipple on the tank and got a pitiful little dribble, even with the filler cap off. It's usually the simple things... I'm kicking myself for missing it for so long, but static and idle fuel pressure read right so I stopped thinking clearly. thanks for your help, sam |
