How long should it take to start after emptying the rail? 6 hours to install a 30m job FML! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not trying to pump reverse through the rail as the reg won't allow fuel through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plugged the wrong hose into the rail! Couldn't unplug it so I had to remove the rail to unplug it.So I'm 99% certain the pump is going to rail! Will double check in the morning. Could a small leak cause it? Edited 18/05/12 01:02 PM by Kosij Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should start after about 10 seconds if that. Something been done wrong. If you bypass the new surge and plug the lines back in where they should go does it start?
