fuel filter. old one looked like it hadnt been changed in years.cant half feel the difference.much more responsive.
If anyone hasnt changed theres yet,i recommend you do.Only takes a matter of 10 mins.
I was emptying the fuel that was in the old one and it was black rotten and full of shit.
p.s has anyone noticed how much optimax stinks compared to normal u/leaded. been in the shower and i can still smell it on my hands

 

I had mine changed on it's last service and noticed the difference straight away too

 

And me, when I changed it it had a date written on it and was 12 years old, went better after, way better off boost but on boost the same.

changing mine next week,along with fitting a group a coil,looking forward to seeing the difference

 

You wonder why they get left out on a service, for all they cost and take to fit too! Is it becuase its hidden under the rear end u think? ive had my RS turbo 4yrs and its done about 1000 miles and had 2 filters!

 

Done mine last month along with a 044 pump and one of Stu's adaptors

Noticed the difference and now its not my daily driver i can drive it properly

Oh and a fuel pump rewire 14 volts on the secs at 850 rpm

 

Well i changed mine cause it was causing a fault with my car. My car used 2 start drive for about 5 mins then cut out leave it another 5 mins n it wud start. Changed my fuel filter n its beet sweet ever since. Mine had a date on the side from 1992 but the car came with a full service history.

 

Mine too had full history, amazing how some of the parts even fitted a cossie when I checked part numbers.
Was owned by a guy from Bristol street motors, receipts were for nearly every ford made, ie the history was a load of crap.
I don't ever take any notice of history anyway so was not bothered, just nice to know there are people like that out there.

Well i will know for next time, n take no notice of the service history

 

Super Unleaded has more benzine in it, that's what stinks. And that's what's really bad for your health, so don't breath the vapour. People who work at petrol stations get cancer, particularly Lukemia more often, it's the smelly stuff that causes it.

 

I had mine filter since last year. its just one of them jobs i kept putting off and putting off.i think its mainly because its underneath. but i will be definatly changing it every other service now.

 

didnt know that learn summit new everyday

 

Mine has just been changed but resealiing with new copper washers was a pain as the banjo's must be distorted a bit... took 3 attempts to seal it and petrol went everywhere - take care to have an assistant to check

 

how do you go about rewiring the pump?did a search and couldnt find any details.wouldnt mind doing mine now that its up on axle stands at the min

 

i am impresses u managed to get it to seal first time always find mine a pain in the ars to seal again

 

Use the original feed Black/red trace to power another 40 amp relay in the boot and a live fused feed from battery(i used 42 amp cable) the biggest u can get into a yellow crimp...i also used the same cable from relay to pump also used the same 42 amp in black to earth relay and pump to chassis..

 

28/030 is absolutely ample, delivers 17.5 amps continuous, and will go in blue connector, but don't use connectors solder and heat wrap then tape, otherwise moisture WILL get in.
It is easy to get the washers to seal, they go hard with age so just reanneal them by heating to cherry red with blow torch then drop in old oil, this will make them nice and soft again.
PLEASE DON'T HEAT UNDER THE CAR!!
