Hey Guys,

Just then i went on my break and went and put some fuel in my car it was running on E so i went to the petrol station and then filled up with BP Ultimate

Car was boosting and driving fine before i put the petrol in. I drove back to work car started coughing and spluttering and then just conked out and stalled and now i cant start the car at all.

If i leave it for 5 minutes and start it, it kicks over then stalls. I need help as i need to get home from work!

Anyone who can help me out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Trent

sounds to me like you may have picked up a shit batch of fuel.It may have clogged your filter or even have stuffed the pump itself. I had a similar problem a few years ago with a VN that I had. Pulled the tank out and emptied it.So much water mixed in with the fuel.Other things too like grass,cigarette butts etc..

I agree, definitely sounds like a clogged filter. When you run your tank empty it brings up all the sediment and gunk from the bottom and stuffs the filter pretty quick.

Sorry i don't any quick fixes. Get it to a mechanic.

Good luck mate.

my 2c is that you let it run too low... the new fuel has stirred up the 15 years of shit in the bottom of your tank and then you boosted it str8 away and have now put all that mixed up shit in your fuel system... change the fuel filter drive off boost...

problem still there... see a mechanic or remove/empty your tank

If it is a clogged filter its an easy fix.

1. Change fuel filter.

2. Throw some Wynns fuel system cleaner in your tank.

3. Disconnect spark, turn car over a few times to get fuel in the system.

5. Reconnect spark, and away you go.

If you cant hear the pump though its probably stuffed, what sort of pump is it ho old?

If its the standard one, you should get a fresh one anyway.

problem solving time. ok.

1. possible bad fuel. but if so u shouldnt have gotten out of the bp driveway before stalling

2. blocked filter...possible. however the fuel pump has a filter sock that should filter out the larger debris.. so replace that.

3. might be a stretch...but check the fuses. especially the fuel pump fuse. u said it wasnt priming. so it is either broken...or has a broken circuit..

then run some injector cleaner thru

I got NFI on cause, but would just try the remedys ppl suggested above.

Something interesting though i think, is that only a few weeks ago, i manually scooped 1/4 tank of fuel outa my "89 GTR. After a lot of looking around, rubbing etc... the tank was spotless, none of the shite ppl tank about.

Have a S14 mate who swears all Silvia's get so much gunk in the tank... not my older Skyline... i figure mines been flushed at some stage? hrrm..

for gods sake people... the fuel pump pick up is at the bottom of the tank... regardless of if you run a full tank or on the fuel light, the pick up is still collecting the same quality of fuel. Not to mention the filter sock on the pump is so fine it would bearly pick anything up to clock tjhe fuel pump instantly... that sort of stuff takes years to accumilate shit into a filter

Thankyou.....

About to say the same thing.. I run my tank empty often with no problems... Changed the fuel filter on Monday (after 40000km's since compliance) and it was very clean....... BP Ultimate FTW

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
