[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions? "Hold on 'Bald Eagle' "

[mark shepherd]

I think some of us are jumping the gun...
Remember Bill's last butone post?

 "Able to bleed diesel out the line that goes to the return line to the fuel 
tank & can see diesel going from filter into the IP. Could changing the 
filter possibly help? When removing the injector lines from the injectors I 
can't get any indication of fuel flow to the injectors."

So he has fuel passing through the pump. Banjo fuel line connection also 
sounds about right...Lifting the lines from the injectors has shown that 
there is no fuel through them.... Remember pump used to work but engine ran 
slightly hot that was all... My money is on solenoid problem. These pumps 
self prime [especially on a Quantum ;o) ] so the fact that diesel is passing 
out it's rectum, should be sufficient.
So why is there no fuel out of the lines? Check voltage of solenoid supply 
and it's operation...
