[VB] [T2] Diagnosing bad fuel pump

[Kevin Guarnotta]

Fuel filter, I took your advice, and replaced the fuel filter. Damn, it was
really dirty on the bottom half, I didn't notice as I only looked at it but
didn't inspect it. It looked totally clean, but once I took it out, and spun
it around, it was pretty dirty on half the filter. I hope that was it. 

 

I'll try to do a  couple test drives today. 

 

Thanks, and yes I do feel stupid for not looking at the filter more closely.

I certainly would change the fuel filter first, since it is never a bad
idea, its cheap and easy, and also, looks are always deceiving in this case,
since I had a Suzuki samurai and the tank had schmutz in it and always
clogged the filter, and those too always looked fine.
