OK OK OK !!!! .
update time . its been a good few weeks. christmas and new year was ok . didnt get much work done on the car because of family and friend commitments .. but happy to report that the weekend that just past was very productive .
so just before i went on break and Christmas. i ordered a walbro fuel pump and went looking a for the a cleaning agent to clean the tank. at first i was a bit worried about the state that my fuel tank looked. i seriously thought i needed a new one . but lucky enough after a couple hours of research i came up with a solution . funny enough after going to every shop i thought it would be sold at .. i found it at the local coles store and cost me just under 10 buck and i pretty much bought all their stock.. hehehe ...
what am i talking about you may ask, well its :
molasses is a by product of sugar cane or something or rather like that. farmers use it to clean their rusty tools and what not , i didn't believe it at first but then after watching this:
i just had to try it myself.. i had some really good photos of the fuel tank before i cleaned it but my frecken phone's sd card poo poo itself so ..
imagine this but also on the side and floor and top of the fuel tank:
and google image gave me this (my fuel tank looked sort of like this )
so all i did was mixed 1 jar per 10 ltr total of 4 jars for 40ltrs. and left it to soak for over 2 week with the fuel holder and fuel guage sender reinstalled to get the same treatment .. once my fuel pump came in the mail . it was time to see what the molasses did .

pictures tell a thousand words :
that was all the rust flakes that came out of it
wow! inside the fuel tank
fuel pump holder and sender cleaned up .
believe it guys .. this stuff really works .. i didnt scrubs the fuel tank at all . just left it to soak and then rinsed with the hose... and FP holder and sender i quickly scrubbed with an old tooth brush ... good new the fuel gauge sender now works .. woaho ...
new fuel pump
(dont use a hose clamp .. it doesn't fit the hole with it .. USE A CABLE TIE )
OK IT GETS BETTER .. so everything went pretty smooth ..Friday night the fuel pump got installed .. fuel tank went back up and i put in 15ltrs of fresh 98. went to crank it and it cranked but still no fuel pressure .. ???? WAT , WHY .... OMFG!!!! it was too late so i called it quits (b4 i did something stupid) ... so Saturday morning i woke up nice an early .. pulled the main fuel line that goes to the fuel filter just to check if it was the old fuel filter that was blocked and still nothing. checked the fuse , connected B+ and Fp inside the diagnostic box and still nothing. got the test light out and tested for direct power at the fuel power.. still nothing.
now at this point i started feeling sick in the gut like when you know that either A/ you forgot to do something so the fuel tank needs to come back down or B/ you just got jeped and bought a dogey fuel pump .
installing an empty fuel tank is ok beacuse the tank weighs f all and 1 person can easily do it on his own .. but a fuel tank with 15L of petrol .. yeah wasnt fun ... now i like the reverse missionary position but this wasnt fun ... so anyways it turns out that stupid me and for anybody with an eagle eye will see it in the photo of the new fuel pump. that the plug connecting the fuel pump .. i pushed it in but i didnt get it to "CLICK" .. so make sure you here a click before you put it in the tank .
with that done i had fuel pressure .. yay !!!...
only thing left was to finally start her up ... installed the battery .. installed the intercooler and installed a new fuel fiter just for good measures went to crank , idle and then would instantly die... checked timing , checked tps , everything seemed ok .. spent all of rest of Saturday afternoon trying and i finally sucking in my ego .. realizing that setting the timing on the adub by your self takes a very long time and is almost impossible .. so got a good mate to come over to help me out.
Now 2 brains is always better then 1 .. or maybe in my case a fresh brain is always better then an old one .. and that was my case.. he came over and i showed him what the car was doing .. we opened the adub work shop manual timed it as per the manual and he instantly noticed that my inter cooler pipes were loose and was causing a vacuum leak .. .DOH!!! that was the problem the whole time .. so after tighting them up
this happened :
so thing to note :
-molasses is good for rust removal
-listen for the "click" when installing a walbro fuel pump
-15L of petrol in a fuel tank is not a fun replacement for the GF
-vaccum leaks dont always have to be from tiny blue vacuum lines
- intercooler pipes need to be tightened .
