    Default 86 jdm tank installed, but now car wont start up?

    hey guys ive just recently installed a jdm tank into my sprinter however it appears now that the car wont start up?

    Ive checked:

    1) All lines and that they are connected correctly

    2) Prime the fuel line of any air

    3) check pump if it is actually even working (which it is).

    4) Spark plug wise the car did not have any issues with it before i installed the jdm tank

    So what could it be? Can you please help me find the root of the problem.

    Muchly appreciated,
    Dave

    How did you have the car working previously (assuming ADM tank with a inline high-flow pump)? What have you changed to install the JDM tank?

    Really not much that can go wrong... disconnect the fuel line at the rail to see if you have pressure?
    Also check that the correct lines are connected to the "in" and "out" of the rail... don't want to be forcing fuel in the wrong way.

    hey guys yes the tank does have fuel in it. Stain: Yes had ADM tank with inline high flow pump. Basically i chucked the adm tank out installed the jdm one in. All fuel lines are correct. Fuel line going into the rails the right way. I have no idea??

    I might have to do another thorough check tmr. Might check pressure?

    Do the basic checks: does it have spark, are the injectors clicking, etc.

    It may be you disconnected something innocent and unrelated in the process and forgot about it (I do that all the time anyway).
