hi all,
recently been having fuel problems with my v8 once i get a few miles from home decides to stall and refuses to start for about 10 mins in the most inconvenient places. No fuel can be seen in filter. If left alone for a bit it will start but wont pull away or pulls away slow and grudgingly, Rac man said most probably knackered fuel pump.
I have overhauled fuel pump with a service kit and refitted it to the car started and runs ok as it did before when cold but fuel level in filter is still low only a quarter full looks almost as if it could run dry. Just wandered if anyone could advise before i take it out on a good run if this level in the filter is normal, dont want to get stranded again, the pump and filter are the standard AC type.
I have heard of p6s suffering from vapour lock ? when hot would this cause these symptoms, or air in the lines.
any comments much appreciated
