<div dir="ltr">All of this clothes pin on the fuel line business reminds me of the detergent "ball" product that was marketed some years back. There were many testimonials about how great this plastic ball worked to clean clothes in a washing machine. Turns out it was all a scam. It was merely some type of plastic ball. That's it. Nothing more. Only a plastic ball. But there were many believers. <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 10:40 AM Michael Salter <<a href="mailto:michaelsalter@gmail.com">michaelsalter@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Wait, wait , wait .....</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">If the pump is going tickety tick then there is gaseous fuel in the pump!!!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">If there is gaseous fuel in the pump nothing, absolutely nothing that you do to the fuel lines after the pump, be it mumbo jumbo or abrakadabra, will stop the pump from ticking.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">M<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 12:01 PM Kees Oudesluijs <<a href="mailto:coudesluijs@chello.nl" target="_blank">coudesluijs@chello.nl</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>That depends on the temperature of the fuel and the composition.

</p>
<p>If it is under 3,8psi there is no problem as the pump delivers
3,8psi (that is the original equipment AUF 301/3/5 or its
SU-Burlen replacement AZX1308)</p>

you start hearing the pump run really
quickly, it can be indicative of vapor
lock getting back into the fuel line...
can happen at the end of long trips.
It's because the fuel starts vaporizing
around where the line goes into the
floats, and the float jet then is no
longer cutting off fuel flow because it
is pushing vapor into the float bowls,
which leaks out the overflow tube. As
long as your car is running it should be
okay, you might use more fuel than
normal. Try wiring a piece of wood to
the incoming fuel line - this is an old
trick with Atlantics to act as a heat
sink on hot days and stop vapor lock on
the Atlantics which use mechanical fuel
pumps.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

I took my Healey BN& out for its

miles of southern Oregon backroads
-- with our local Rogue Euro Car

Except that, towards the end of the

though the car never ran warm all
day) as I was cruising along about
40 mph, the fuel pump started
tapping at a high rate of speed and
pretty continuously -- certain
enough so I could hear it behind me.
I have a standard original-spec

new from Moss about 10 years ago and
running without any issues every
