Hi guys

I have a 1984 high top Vw T25. Im getting pretty fed u p with starting it up when its been stood. Its parked on a hill of sorts. It turns over for eons and will not start. If u remove the petrol pipe from the pump..have a suck on it..then reconnect i can get it to start..and for a few days after it will start until its left for any period of time. Im beginning to think that the fuel drains back and the pump aint man enough to bring it up from the tank or am i missing something here.....


Cheers

Not enough fuel in the tank or tank rotten. You will get more joy in technical help though.

Park it the other way round ie facing up the hill...had similar on mine after left was sitting face down on sloped drive with only a little fuel in tank

that is such a great answer! and it makes sense!!!
