Resolved 2g awd fuel siphon

[dsmotors95]

My siphon broke in half can i just leave the half on it without the bottom piece?

I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sure it will cause more problems later on. What were you doing to the car when it broke?

 

[dsmotors95]

I was drilling the hole to 1/8" and when i was putting it back it just snapped.

Should be able to find another at the junk yard or miller imports

 

[dsmotors95]

yeah i tried junkyard and paid entrance for nothing :/
only one turbo eclipse and it was gutted already. i'll check miller imports thanks.

So i put both pieces together and the metal piece that goes there held it in place. Thanks for the help.

How did the siphon break? In the channel that connects the two inlets? In that case, you would have issues pulling fuel from the driver-side saddle. Were you drilling the relief out because you couldn't lower your fuel pressure to an acceptable level? Post a picture if you can.

the little plastic siphon piece..i did post a picture, and yes i drilled it because my fuel pressure wouldnt come down from 60 psi..now i can get it as low as 25 i set it at 43, does that sound right?

Between 43 and 44 if a 2g

Cool thanks

Just so i wont open up another thread does this mean theres a vacum leak

How did you put the siphon back together? If that piece is not completely sealed, then there is a good chance that you won't draw from the passenger saddle of the tank.

EDIT: I see what you mean about the metal clip, as long as it's properly together then you should be fine.


Now:
What do you mean by 'vacuum leak'?
