Another one for carburettor equipped cars without a return fuel line!

Bad hot starting can be the result of pressure build-up in the fuel feed line of a carburettor equipped car, causing the carburettor to flood either during hot soak or whilst 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. Luckily 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 install a by-pass loop in the feed pipe that bleeds excess pressure build up from the system.

Installation involves just cutting the fuel feed pipe before and after the fuel pump and 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, two tee pieces and illustrated instructions.

The kit is available with 8mm i.d. hose (Part HSK001) or 6mm I.D. hose (Part HSK002) and retails at £22.79 inc VAT.
