hi,  one time i had  trouble with a new  cheap  fuel filter,    there was hardly any fuel in the filter,  i thought that ,that wasnt right, so my friend ripped of his ryco  filter , put it on  and as soon as it started the filter was full..... could be worth checking....   mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Oldham To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 8:12 AM Subject: fuel in datto 1600 hey,     ran my datsun 1600 in a supersprint at willowbank on saturday car ran ok, bit lean at high revs, but what can u do ?   anyway I decided that instead of filling up with LRP i would use Optimax with a lead replacer I put about 22 ltrs of optimax in a nearly empty tank from that point onwards the car wouldn't run properly & kept starving for fuel & stalling   there no reason that the optimax would cause a problem with the car is there ? I took the fuel filter off & found a small piece of green plastic in it I also noticed that the fuel did not seem to be gravity feeding freely from the tank as i assumed that fuel should gush out of the fuel line when there is nothing capping it ?   I put some more LRP into the tank, but didn't seem to help at this stage I am going to drain & clean the tank as I am assuming that something is blocking the fuel lines from free flowing   Cheers Jeff --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
