I have a major rebuild going on (in spare time for nearly 2 years now). The engine is pretty well ready to go but I don't want to install the overhauled injectors/rail without checking for leaks under pressurization. I have replaced all the hoses on the injectors after they were cleaned and flow tested.
Is this even possible ?
I had also removed the fuel tank and cleaned it out because the car had been in water once and was evidenced by the contaminated fuel filter. The tank is back in the car with a cleaned up fuel pump and the tank itself has been coated inside.
Currently I can not get fuel up to the filter point. OF course as I said the engine is out of the car. The pump activates for about 5 seconds after I turn on the ignition key but I get no fuel at the line opening. I am going to try closing the system by having the return line and the fuel tank output line placed in a common tank of gas. If that doesn't work I don't guess I'm going to be able to get the injector rail checked either.
I am not really familiar with the theory behing the injection operation but I am with the parts and connections.
Please help me if there is a way to accomplish what I am attempting. I shudder at getting the injector rail in with the rest of the manifold on top of it, only to discover a leak that requires disassembly again.
Thanks
