daeron Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Okay, I had gotten the impression somehow that there was a fuel pickup screen on the intake for the EA-82 SPFI fuel pump. I just went, pinched off my line from the tank to the pump, and tried to see if I could clean mine out. Now, I am precious low on fuel, and dont have a good sleection of tools; the only pair of vise grips here at my house totally failed to adequately pinch off my fuel line. Hoever, in the moment that I DID have to look, I didnt notice a pickup screen in the inlet of the pump. Theres GOTTA be some sort of pre-pump screen.. where is it? on the tank side of the fuel pump supply line? if so, how do I check that, just set up a catch pan to catch all of my fuel that spills out? I am off to do a search now, but thanks for any posts on the subject. Time saving, and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Ach, nevermind.... I did some searching, discovered that my impression was correct, found a better way to clamp the line off, and looked closer into the pump inlet with better light. I see the screen now.. but it isn't my problem. Sigh. My problems never have these simple causes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psylosyfer Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I always shove a 3/8 drive socket extension in the hose, It's fast and works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
