Well, I put the pump in a simple test rig, using the old Miglia tank complete with 7 year old petrol and it's flowing very well indeed, plus hardly making a sound but then there is no pressure on it.

We had a pump that caused us problems. Made no noise seemed to pump ok, but never delivered properly. I seem to remember Wil sent it back to the manufacturer and they confirmed it was not pumping, but could not say why. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Paul have you tried dead heading it with a pressure gauge and seeing what it will make?

Paul have you tried dead heading it with a pressure gauge and seeing what it will make? Not yet, but we will do. We've just spent about an hour swilling the tank to get even more crap out of it. Same black tissue/foam substance. Even had to adapt the Vacuum cleaner to extract the last bit. Still need to do a final swill but rain stopped play. Too smelly for an indoor job. I now stink (more than usual, that is). Must have a word with the tank manufacturer, me thinks, but then the crap could have been in the pump, filter, regulator or even the pipes...... who knows?

Looks like it could have been some thin packing foam of some description? whatever it was has definately degraded due to the fuel, may have been stuck inside the tank or anything pre filter, i highly doubt it would have been in the pipes, they have no use for packing foam for that kinda stuff. Id just ring around and query as to if they use it or not.

I've actually heard similiar, about 50/50 diesel/oil. Done the pouring diesel down bores on an engine thats been stood awhile. Anything to stop the rings picking up.
On 16th Aug, 2011 Joe C said:
slightly off topic, Ive seen a 1500cc fiat have its sump filled with diesel to release some stuck rings, drop oil, fill with diesel, start and leave running for 15 mins, drop out the derv, refil with oil. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:
