Bad hot starting can be the result of a build-up of pressure in the fuel feed line of a carburettor-equipped car; this causes the carburettor to flood either during hot soak or while cranking

Some manufacturers addressed this problem by fitting a fuel return line to the tank; however, this is a cumbersome solution for owners of cars without this feature as it involves making irreversible modifications to the car. Fortunately, Webcon has the answer.

Webcon’s Fuel Line Pressure Relief Kit provides extra fuel hose, clips and two tee pieces (one with a valve and one without) to provide a by-pass loop in the feed pipe in order to bleed excess pressure buildup from the system.

Installation involves simply cutting the fuel feed pipe before and after the fuel pump then inserting the by-pass hose via the tee pieces. Solving a hot starting problem really is as simple as that. The kit contains a length of fuel hose, six hose clamps and two tee pieces. The kit is available with 8mm I.D. hose (Part HSK001) or 6mm I.D. hose (Part HSK002). Both retail at £30.64 inc VAT each.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.
