Certainly looks like hosepipe to me subintro although could be wrong - I'd be inclined to replace all the fuel hose as a matter of course mate: https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Petrol_engines_Fire_warning" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Yeah, al of the fuel pipes have been repla...

Yeah, it was all the crap in the fuel lines between the pump and the tank, which is odd, its just a fuel line? How the hell could it make the fuel look so crap. When I was getting ready to drain the tank, I did notice that the line seemed to have a black line on the bottom, with clear on the top so ...

Just thought I'd give you guys an update, some closure if you will. After breaking down again today, I just thought stuff it, I'll flush the tank out, see what comes out and replace the fuel lines. Went and bought some more rubber tubing (The type for fuel) and got ready to replace the tubing from t...

Riiiight.

Yeah, I was pretty confident they weren't.


Thanks for all of the help guys, going to see about checking out the tank and new pipes.

Think it'll benefit from new pipes. Just thinking about it, we had the hose from the tank to the filler cap thing replaced, the old one was rusty and could have had bits fall into the tank. Mechanic also said the fuel tank was aluminium so it couldn't be rusty, probably will have to check myself then.

I had this problem and got to the point where i didnt want to drive the van long distances in case the familiar lurching appeared. Finally replaced the fuel tank this year and fitted an electric fuel pump just to be sure as the mechanical one took ages to prime if van stood for a while. All good no...

There should be one under the van, behind the tank on the offside... Mine doesn't have one near the pump. What engine do you have? Not fully sure what the engine is, but it was a new one (Or reconditioned, not sure). Breakdown came and said the fuel inside was dirty, was murky. Just recommended I e...

Haha, you're right about the mechanic. But they're all crap from around here, had one a few years ago that was actually stealing parts from a transit van I had and was using zip cords to keep things on. The mechanic has actually changed the filter near the pump, I didn't know until just now (The van...

So my T25 keeps breaking down. Almost daily and its just costing more and more. Its had a new engine 5 months ago, but theres a ton of crap on the fuel, pretty sure its rust and its some how getting past the fuel filter, through the pump and into the floats. Would a new filter fix this? Our mechanic...
