fuel pipe blockage

[heraldmanblue]

ok yesterday i started the car and drove out of the garage, it then stalled and would'nt start again, so today i checked all the obvious, and found that the fuel pipe is blocked, can anybody tell me a easy way to clear this blockage, many thanks richard.

compressor and nozzle on the airline, take off the pipe at the fuel pump, undo the tank filler cap, blow it back through.

Is that solving the problem or reloading?

Then fit a disposable fuel filter into the line, or one of those glass ones where you can see the crud blocking it.

THEN, deal with the crud in the fule tank!
Steam cleaning is a good way, but it does need the tank to come out.

He didnt ask that, I would take the tank out and clean everything out.

I have had bad luck with the paper fuel filters varnishing over and blocking the system.

The nylon mesh in a glass tube variety do not seem to suffer from that problem and still stop the crud.
