Fuel temperature control
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 12:01 pm
Hi
I've noticed, for a couple of days, that the Bongo's tickover has dropped when the engine is warm, and makes it a bit lumpy on tickover, as it has dropped to around 600 to 660 RPM....I seem to remember it did this last year when the weather warmed up to around 30 Celsius, and it is about that at the moment...when the summer comes, it gets a lot hotter, but the tickover seems to stabilise.
Could the above be due to the fuel getting a bit warm, and vapourising in the lines, or is there a temperature sensor in the system which doesn't like it hot?
The engine runs perfectly sweetly whilst driving
Any Thoughts?
Cheers
Helen
