Hey guys, got a question on the fuel pump. When I got it in the mail, this little piece came with it and I dont know what it is or where it goes. see below:

I don't remember that part being loose in the stuff that came with my pump but it does look like a check valve part. Did it fall out of the outlet maybe? There is supposed to be a check valve in there.

Yeah it looks like the outlet check valve, but by your pic there, it looks like it's alredy in there??

in the pic that is the view looking down on it, i stuck it in there. But, does it go there, and does it just sit there?

That is the reverse bleed off check valve r whatever name you want to pick for it. Basically what it does is, when the pump shuts down, that valve closes so your fuel line pressure doesnt drop right away. The pressure will slowly drop off but over the course of hours.

Why its not in the outlet i dont know, it should not have come out. I would send it back becasue that part is installed from the factory and is not intended to be servicable.

Bummer. i bought this from Blizarre

so can I put it in there and forget about it or am I SOL?

bump!

can anyone say for sure if its safe to just put the valve in (as show in the 2nd picture) and go ahead and install it?

You need it, but you're missing the retainer cap that holds it in place. That's what happens when you rip the rubber hose off unceremoniously, the stainless cap pops off in the hose, and the check valve falls out.

You need to find the tiny stainles cap that secures the checkvalve inside the pump outlet.

You can see the stainless cap in this picture, on the top of the right-hand pump.


You're not SOL, but I wouldn't put that valve in without a cap, it could get sucked down the line. Call up walbro and see if they can ship you a new one.

Either that or return it to where you bought it and get a new one.

Also that filter sock is filthy. It's supposed to be white. Get a new one.

hrm, ok thanks. Looks like i'll be getting ahold of walbro for a cap & filter sock

thanks

Walbro is sending one to me for free (retainer cap).

good shit.
