Hello
I have a 92 K Range Rover 3.9 EFi which has been standing for a little while. Put a fresh battery on the other day and she fired straight in to life, about 20 secs later fuel started to leak out from under the tank.
The fuel pump metal pipes (attached to the pump housing top) were heavily corroded, one was so weak that it had cracked causing fuel to spray out.
Someone said they could fix the pump by welding new pipes in. With this done, re-fitted the pump and tried starting nothing. Found that the internal fuel pump pipes had been fitted the wrong way round!
Because of this the engine had flooded. Cleaned out all spark plugs and changed pipes over but still will not start.
My question is, by pumping fuel backwards through the system could it have damaged any of the components? Thinking fuel pressure regulator?
Ideas and help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
