WANTED Lucas Epic fuel solenoids and pump

Long shot, but has anyone got an old Lucas epic fuel pump complete with solenoids and associated loom. My loom is shedding its insulation and top solenoids are leaking a bit now on start up.
Cheers

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

Wiinz, cheers for your reply, I’m using a mechanical nrv, and to be honest it’s not doing the best job. I think because it is such a slow movement of fuel back down the line it doesn’t shut it off if there was a good amount of pressure pushing back against it. I will try clamping again just before t...

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

I know it’s chilly but I’m not lighting a fire under my tank to warm the fuel :) Anyway this morning after a rainy night and mild temperatures she started first turn of they after a single cycle of the glow plugs. I did see one air bubble leave the fuel filter housing as I cranked her over but it wa...

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

:) Was kinda hoping beyond hope when I started reading that, that the job was an insitu task, typically it’s a pump out meaning cam belt off etc etc. My thoughts on the stop solenoid are still there, that is it closes off when ignition is switched off enough to shut the fuel off, but maybe it is wor...

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

Yes the pump is lubricated by the diesel so Im very careful about not turning it dry so to speak, that’s why if she doesn’t start straight away I’m pumping that primer bulb to put fuel back in the system. I’ll have a good look at the pipe layout and routing to see if I can work out the return journe...

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

Not too sure about the heater on the gearbox end, what should I be looking for? As for the one way valve, I’ve fitted it and it worked great for the first morning but then the next morning it fired up and ran for approx 2 seconds then cut out. I pumped then primer again approx 10 times to get it sol...

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

Fingers crossed, still doesn’t help me with the actual reason for the drop in pressure in the fuel line and the starting problems caused by that, but atleast fingers crossed I’ll have a cod morning starter without the need to pump the primer bulb

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

Ok so very cold last night and I had clamped the fuel line as I said in the last post, so this morning I went out and done one cycle of the glow plugs and started her up, just a turn of the key no throttle, started straight away with no hesitation, whipped off the clamp and got the kink out the pipe...

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

I think mole grips might be a tad over kill :) the old brake fluid clamps ( plier style ) are a bit gentler on the rubber fuel hose. I’ll let you know my findings in the morning

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

Quick experiment tonight, had the old girl running for a little while on the driveway. Stopped engine and used one of my brake line clamps to clamp off the fuel line it’s one of the ones I replaced from the bulkhead to the first clear pipe to the fuel filter. Come the morning I will see if she fires...

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

Hi and thanks for the reply, yep she spins over fine with a good turn of speed on the starter, this morning I tried a quick experiment. Before starting i pumped the bulb 9 times before it got hard, I then done a single cycle of the glow plugs and she started like new, so definitely fuel pressure rel...

Re: Non return valve on fuel line

You are correct mate, air must be getting in, or there is a sting vacuum dragging the fuel back away from the fuel pump, so the theory is to fit the non return valve in a hope that it temporarily solves the problem. I’ve a Lucas pump, driven by the cam belt and from what I have seen on the net the f...
