edviss Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi All, Something that i have never experienced before. I got na-t and have upgraded to ffim which have required external PS reservoir. I have bough oem gte reservoir, cap, all the lines and Banjo fitting that bolts on the PS pump. And the issue is once I top up the fluid it just pisses everything out. Like the pressure is crazy, if the engine is started and you open the cap it makes a fountain 30-40cm high. I have tried lifting the front, getting rid if all the air pockets engine off and on, i have tried undoing rack lines and letting the gravity do the work, but nothing seemed to help. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Isn't this possibly the internal filter/gauze being blocked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edviss Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Guys, stupid mistake that took me whole day to figure out. GE reservoir is held by 2 bolts on the back of the ps pump. I have undone them and left it as is, as I thought threads are just casted in to the back of ps pump to hold reservoir. I was wrong.. those threads are not casted, it actual holds the back casing of ps pump as well and by not having those 2 bolts I have created massive pressure leak Edited March 8, 2021 by edviss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
