JamieP Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I let my car run low on fuel the other day... when i got it out of the garage this morning the fuel pump was making a loud whistle... i filled up with petrol and it went away... ive just been out in it again and its back??? but when i put my foot down it went away again?? do you think ive damaged the pump? or would there just be some air in it that will pass after a few miles.. afr's are spot on;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 You would have to be pretty much empty to damage it as tehy are not self lubricating and only over spinning it will do it. Walbro or Toyota? Twin or Single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
