Warranty On Work/parts?

[That_timothy]

Howdy,

My friend's family own a load of car shops out in the Kimberly's, but vaugely live here every now and again, and so whenever I've gotten work done it's been via somebody they've 'vetted' for me. And this started off all well, but then the things that this one workshop have done just always seem to go wrong. I got a new clutch, and that was in for 4-5 days before it completely stopped connecting. They've sinced fixed that for free.

Later on, I got them to put a fuel pump in, a 550hp Walboro one. Now, they said to me that it would "never need to be replaced" and wouldn't break untill I ran more than 550hp... Which, true to it's namesake seems to make sense.

So, last night, annoyingly on the way to get fuel, my car ran out and is sitting in a carpark not 2 metres from where it stopped. I've since put new fuel in. That did nothing. I then figured that it was probably high time my fuel filter was replaced, since that was fairly high up the list of things I need, as it could well've been pretty dirty. That did nothing. I then phoned the first mechanic in my phonebook, who told me to pull out a fuel line, check if anything actually came through, and then go from there. I pulled one out, decided that there definitely wasn't fuel coming through, and the whole proceedure did - as I'm getting used to - nothing.

The engine turns over, and everything seems to be in order... Except there's absolutely diddly-squat petrol in there.

So now I'm wondering, on a month old fuel pump, is it reasonable to have it die because I ran out of fuel? Should it be under warranty? Does it sound to anybody as if I've completely and utterly missed the point and something else is broken?

Did you call the business that done fuel pump and ask them ???

Nah I'm calling them in the morning, untill tonight I just figured it was low on fuel, but now it's clearly something not working.

... Only because you don't know the answer.

Don't post if it's not relevant.

As mentiomed check ur fuel pump fuse, may be as simple as that. May be lose wiring inside the tank on the pump, as i believe with walbro's u need to rewire them? Could be the plugs lose inside the car where wiring goes to the pump in the boot. And sometimes an EFI pump can stop woking if its run out of fuel as the fuel is the lubricant.
