But the question I ask is did this engine run before he did this???
Why did he replace the pump????
Has he ever heard this engine run and how did it run????
Jeez.....if I want to go offroading I'll just pay the $13.00 and go across the George Washington Bridge to the offroad park.........oh wait.......that's Manhattan:doh:
Lube oil separating temps should be between 194-212 F (90-100C) to get a good separation. This is for detergent oil which is probably what everybody now days is running. When you get into non-detergent the temps are a little lower but not much.....
If you run it cold you're wasting your time...
Sell the vette and find a roommate.
Downsize your stuff........you can always get more stuff when you get your life straightened out. Trust me....I been there and done that......The money you get from your vette sale and anything else you can sell should go towards your bills.....Also...sell...
Hawkeyepoole,
Do this, remove the primary fuel filter element and do the clear hose test again. If the hose does not collapse again then your restriction is your filter. your fuel is too thick to run through your filter or your filter is clogged. Most likely the fuel is too thick.
Your primary fuel filter is creating a restriction. This is causing the gear pump, which by the way is the fuel pump, to pull the suction line down into a vacuum....which you witnessed when the clear line collapsed. Take the primary filter out and run it with the clear line and see if it does it...
You also have to subract the cubic inches that the fuel pump and the fuel gauge take up to get the true volume of the tank.......just splitting hairs here......or am I being anal.......
