brus brother Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 My 90 Loyale sprang a fuel leak. The "fuel damper" rusted out. It is located right beyond the fuel pump. No dealers stocked it around here and none could say that it regulated anything other than noise. I disconnected the bugger from the fuel pump and substituted a 3/8 fuel line hose with clamps. I'm no longer leaking but does anyone know if there is any purpose that this $45 item served. The car seems to run well so far but remember the story of the fellow who fell from a skyscraper... at every floor they heard him yell out... so far so good!

GeneralDisorder Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 If it's not a filter, or a pressure regulator, and your getting fuel, I would say file that little sucker in the round-file. One less thing to blow up later.... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam N.D.J. Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 If it's what I think your talking about, then it's actually a fuel damper. What it does is smooth out any pulses from the pump. It may sound like a crucial part, but not really. When I plumbed my truck for F.I. I didn't have one, so I went without. If I intently watch my FP guage, I'll notice a very slight movement in the needle, but it doesn't effect drivability, and has been like this for many months now. You can do without it.
