I sometimes have the problem of fuel returning to the tank when my van has stood for a while,thus leaving the fuel filter empty and delaying startup from cold.
My van is a 1991 Fiat Ducato, 2Lt. petrol which strangely (I Think) has has "T" piece fitted to the fuel line between the filter and the Carburettor allowing excess fuel to run back to the tank.
My other van (1985 Talbot Express) doesnt have this "T" piece fitted and I dont have any problems as above
I read somewhere that in the early 90s all vans were fitted with Diesel fuel tanks for some reason and this could be the reason for the return pipe.
Also have read that some users have blanked off the return pipe gaining better performance.
I was thinking of trying this myself but thought I,d ask the question, has anyone out there tried this and what were the results, also can anyone advise me if this could cause any problems??
Thanks in anticipation
