Fuel System - Main Fuel Pump Noisey

87peugeot01
BULLETIN NO. 243 ( 1)


DATE: June, 1987 (63)

SUBJECT: MAIN FUEL PUMP NOISE

MODELS: 505 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH GRAVITY FEED FUEL TANK


COMPLAINT

Main fuel pump becomes extremely noisy when ambient temperature is above 75~ to 80~ F. This problem has been traced to a slight restriction of the fuel supply hose under the trunk floor panel (hose from fuel tank to main fuel pump).


REPAIR

In order to prevent such restriction, the supply hose should be routed under the return hose at the securing bracket mounted to the vertical panel extending from the trunk floor panel.

Additionally, when performing the installation of the gravity feed fuel tank, make sure that both supply and return hoses are shortened as per instructions in Service Bulletin 236.
