Hi guys

been having real trouble with van not starting, smoking badly, lose of power and bad

fuel consupshion.

Decided to have a good look over the engine today.

I started checking all the fuel pipe then noticed the fuel leak off pipe had perished at the ends.

touched them and you could hear the air being sucked in. so i went to the local car factors

and they had the fuel leak of kit £3.23 inc vat came back and started taking the old hose's

of one just snapped :shock: the others just slid off :? fitted new one's van started first shot

no smoke and it got it va va voom back. :D :D
