Thread: Fuel Spurting Out

Tweet

Yes. It is from the passenger side in front toward the bottom--apparently bolted right to the engine. Like I said, I'm assuming its the fuel pump.

Here's a link to a pic: http://risingtiger.sinkbug.feralhost...gine_holes.jpg

The two holes are circled in red. When the engine is running these holes are just pumping out the gas. Are they supposed to be sealed? Supposed to be hooked up to something? Can I safely try to seal them back up with something?

Lots of questions, I know. Hopefully you've got some ideas.

thanks,

Those 2 holes are a vent for the top of the diaphragm in the pump. If gas is coming out of there the diaphragm has been damaged! Pump will need replacment and please verify that no gas got into the motor! Pull the dipstick and sniff the oil on the stick and if it smells like gas, replace the oil and filter ASAP! Also verify the installation of your filter! Did you kink the line thereby preventing or restricting fuel flow??? Does the filter have a check valve? Check it for operation! Maybe something caused some restriction and a higher pumping pressure hurt the pump or maybe it was just time???!!!???!!?? But check the oil for gas first!!!
