[Vwdiesel] fuel pump question

[Gary, Orlando]

Dave,

The pump will only generate pressure against a resistance. When the pipe
is loose, you will get no pressure. And as you have noticed, it will
only leak a few drops.

Does the car have problems? If so, please give us the symptoms.

am trying to figure out if the pump is putting out enough pressure or
volume to get fuel through the injectors.   If you had the fuel line
totally loose and you were watching the fuel come out of the line's as
it was cranked over how much fuel should come out of the line.  My seems
like sort of drips with not a tremendous amount of pressure. I am
thinking of switching fuel pumps I have a couple of old one's in my
garage. But before I do I just was hoping for some clue if the fuel pump
in now is putting out the right pressure or flow.
