(help) Fri, 30 January 2004 00:06 I hate to stir someone else's porridge, but when i converted to an electronic carbie pump (facet one) i originally didn't utilise the return line, but then the car wouldn't idle the best and used lots of fuel (excess pooring staight into the motor). I spoke to someone who deals lots with carbies and they gave me a T-piece unit which has the same diametre opening straight throught the top of the T and a smaller (needle like) opening on other side. The reason for this is when the pressure builds up in the carbies, instead of overflowing into the motor (as there is nowhere else to travel), the excess pressure flows through the needle and back into the tank. It is a simple design made for simple carbie setups where low pressure systems are in use. It works the same way as a fuel pressure regulator, but doesn't require a return line off the carbie as it's connected onto the feed line just before the fuel entres the carbie. This is just my 2c worth as the above setup was used on my car and worked. "tercelboy" you seem to have all tha parts, so just try it out. Good luck! [Report message to a moderator]
