Title: high return fuel temperature help??
Post by: carrgti on 03 October 2009, 12:47
Well....I've decided not to attempt to adjust the dizzy,as why should the timming be out if its seized into position.Not only that....the car only judders after running for 20 mins plus!!

So,the next question is....the fuel return from the tank is getting hot and not staying at a medium temp thus could be boiling off into a vapour.......has anyone experienced such problems, if so has anyone stripped the fuel regulator/pressure relief........

please donate to my sorry ass cause and prevent me from............

Cheers

Fuel return from tank? If it was return to tank, then I don't think this would be an issue. But if the fuel from the tank to engine is getting warm, then I would look at the routing of the pipes or see if the electric fuel pump is getting hot.

if someone has changed the belt in the past its very easy to get the dizzy wrong as it will spin free when the belt is loosened. start with the basics before worrying about the temperature of your fuel!
