Put Fuel In Now Car Wont Run

[imprsv]

Hey Guys,

Just then i went on my break and went and put some fuel in my car it was running on E so i went to the petrol station and then filled up with BP Ultimate

Car was boosting and driving fine before i put the petrol in. I drove back to work car started coughing and spluttering and then just conked out and stalled and now i cant start the car at all.

If i leave it for 5 minutes and start it, it kicks over then stalls. I need help as i need to get home from work!

Anyone who can help me out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Trent

sounds to me like you may have picked up a shit batch of fuel.It may have clogged your filter or even have stuffed the pump itself. I had a similar problem a few years ago with a VN that I had. Pulled the tank out and emptied it.So much water mixed in with the fuel.Other things too like grass,cigarette butts etc..

I agree, definitely sounds like a clogged filter. When you run your tank empty it brings up all the sediment and gunk from the bottom and stuffs the filter pretty quick.

Sorry i don't any quick fixes. Get it to a mechanic.

Good luck mate.

my 2c is that you let it run too low... the new fuel has stirred up the 15 years of shit in the bottom of your tank and then you boosted it str8 away and have now put all that mixed up shit in your fuel system... change the fuel filter drive off boost...

problem still there... see a mechanic or remove/empty your tank

Yeah i'm guessing its something like that. bollocksing need to get the car home.

Only issue im having is i cant hear the pump priming..

If it is a clogged filter its an easy fix.

1. Change fuel filter.

2. Throw some Wynns fuel system cleaner in your tank.

3. Disconnect spark, turn car over a few times to get fuel in the system.

5. Reconnect spark, and away you go.

If you cant hear the pump though its probably stuffed, what sort of pump is it ho old?

If its the standard one, you should get a fresh one anyway.

problem solving time. ok.

1. possible bad fuel. but if so u shouldnt have gotten out of the bp driveway before stalling

2. blocked filter...possible. however the fuel pump has a filter sock that should filter out the larger debris.. so replace that.

3. might be a stretch...but check the fuses. especially the fuel pump fuse. u said it wasnt priming. so it is either broken...or has a broken circuit..

then run some injector cleaner thru

It might be time to check your bus timetable so you can get home cause it don't look like you'll be driving. hehe

Good luck Champ.

Pump is a GTR item, Issue is it was running sweet before this started then fuel was in then BAM and the issue starts..

Looks like car will stay here overnite then i'll have to coem back tommorrow with some tools and shit

[Green_s13]

as the guys have said have a quick look at your fuses you might find the fuel pump fuse has blown it sounds like no power or a dead pump

[imprsv]

Fuel pump is actually not even priming, checked fuse thats working fine.

Its plugged in and everything.

bollocksen hell does nething ever stop with problems?

[imprsv]

Going to try and pull the fuel pump out after i finish work and see how that goes from there maybe its blocked or soemthing

[GeeTR]

I got NFI on cause, but would just try the remedys ppl suggested above.

Something interesting though i think, is that only a few weeks ago, i manually scooped 1/4 tank of fuel outa my "89 GTR. After a lot of looking around, rubbing etc... the tank was spotless, none of the shite ppl tank about.

Have a S14 mate who swears all Silvia's get so much gunk in the tank... not my older Skyline... i figure mines been flushed at some stage? hrrm..

for gods sake people... the fuel pump pick up is at the bottom of the tank... regardless of if you run a full tank or on the fuel light, the pick up is still collecting the same quality of fuel. Not to mention the filter sock on the pump is so fine it would bearly pick anything up to clock tjhe fuel pump instantly... that sort of stuff takes years to accumilate shit into a filter

Thankyou.....

About to say the same thing.. I run my tank empty often with no problems... Changed the fuel filter on Monday (after 40000km's since compliance) and it was very clean....... BP Ultimate FTW

[heller44]

Just to add, the bottom of my bunky tank is shiny as well.

[imprsv]

Yeah thanks to all who helped out.

Pulled out the tank at work in bollocksen boiling hot heat found out ti came outta its cradle and had detatched itself form the power. Fun!

Then the O Ring streached out so much that i had to cut it to fit it back in lol

Anyway its fixed now, all ig tota do now is fix my exhaust leak sound like a bollocksen rexy..

that makes... no... sense.... what so ever!!!

[GeeTR]

Alcohol ridden Friday for this one, fo sho...

[imprsv]

How does that not make sense?

Pulled out the fuel pump, saw that it had come out of the cradle and the power wire had disconnected itself.

Half of it was changed by SAU swearing filter.
