Default Strange Tapping?

There seems to be a tapping noise and feeling coming from the fuel filter and along the fuel line to the rail, but not the rail its self. :-?

It also increase's in speed with revs, anyone any idea?

Just to note this is from a frst with a fresh rebuild.

it is coming from that area but you cant feel it on the fuel rail, just the line and filter.

Seriously, im not rite up on the fezzi turbo fuel systems but most EFI systems have some sort of pulsation damper in the fuel line to smooth out the pulses in the fuel caused by the injectors opening and closing, you havent removed or changed anything like that have you?

Have you moved the fuel line in any way, is it catching on something and transmitting vibration?

Have you altered the fuel pressure or changed the regulator, pump, injectors or anything on the fuel system?

Bit of a difficult one without actully hearing the noise to be honest.

Didnt spot your post up there moonshine.

The fuel system is exactly the same as it was before the rebuild. Nothings been changed and nothings catching

Shannon: FRST's have a damper inside the fuel tank on the sender directly after the pump. If its pulsation that is the problem then its more than likely going to be this
