Welcome, Christopher. Pre-pump filters are a good idea, but if your new pump is noisy , then you have clogging inside the tank. Sometimes you can clean it out, sometimes rust has taken it's toll and it's time for a new tank. Robert 1982 Westfalia Member since 1997

I am new to the list and this is my first post. I can't express fully how glad I am to have found this list. Angus in WA recommended and I read each post with the relief I am not alone. Thanks Angus! For my entry post, I wanted to ask if anyone new if there is a way to clean a Bosch fuel pump. I figure it must be clogged and fuel is restricted or it may have been damaged from debris from tank. I would like to install a clear pre-filter to monitor the fuel. Has anyone done this and by adding a PF does that restrict gas flow? Thanks again. I have begun to sort threads in file folder for future reference. Very helpful!! Cheers, Christopher Shirley Saint Louis, MO ps Any Vanagon people out here in MO? |
