Fuel Flow Solenoid
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2015 8:19 am
So, got home yesterday afternoon in my 24v ex-NZDF Stage 1 with at least an eighth of a tank of fuel in the rear tank.
Set out this morning and the gauge is reading zero, not a problem as it sometimes sticks however after 6 kms I pulled into a petrol station and put in 10 litres. Still no change to the fuel gauge and a few hundred metres down the road he cuts out. I switch the ignition off then on and he flashes up, 200 metres down the road same thing again.
With no fuel in the front tank I gave friend Dominic a call and he gave me a lift back to the fuel station. 5 litres of go-go juice in the front tank, he flashes up and drives off no problem.
With the ignition on, the after fuel pump wasn’t running no matter which position the fuel change over switch was in and the forward fuel pump was running no matter which position the fuel changeover switch was in.
After a bit further investigation I have come to the conclusion that it is either the fuel changeover switch or the thing behind the dash that goes “clunk” when you change fuel tanks as I have had the after fuel tank pump running this evening and the changeover “clunk” varies in time, sometimes it is immediate, sometimes it takes a few seconds to “clunk” and sometimes it doesn't do anything.
Is the changeover switch just a bog standard switch and is the thing that goes “clunk” the fuel flow solenoid and does anyone have a part number for one please.
Thanks for looking and any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
