Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) 2006 Plus 4. Needed AA roadside assistance

Ask VOSA if this has been raised as a SAFETY recall issue by Morgan, if not give then details, fuel spraying everywhere probably should be classed as a serious safety issue!

Tried Dorman US with photograph of parts- No joy. Thanks any way

UPDATE. All attempts to acquire new Sender connector seals and locking collars failed. Ford Solution £392 for a new sender. Ebay for a used sender £19 See jpg 1028. Seals and collars needed. All white assembly scrapped. Loading clip and seals is fiddly to ensure alignment.(see jpg 1033) Seals well greased.Slide in and then with locking collar flat side down next to base plate push in firmly until click Insert fuel line connector an ease into red connector collar (You have to get through the seals)until clicks See jpeg 1039. No gap between collar face and pipe face. Engine fired up- no leaks. For now anyway. I now have an emergency kit (See jpeg1061)Contains Spanner to remove spare wheel bracket and cover plate, tie wraps to bodge a repair (ie to hold pipe in if it pops again. Spare locking collars for longer term repair. Cause of problem- No idea pipes not tight or out of alignment. However it occurs to me if the return pipe in jpeg 1028 is kinked it may cause big back pressure. Not checked!
Advice needed from TM members.
1. To remove sender I have to remove large black plastic ring and withdraw. Ash cross member is in way! Can this be removed easily?
2. See jpeg1059. Two components in fuel line. What are they
3.See jpeg1057 next post I have exceeded attachment limit. What is component?

Finally, I have located a Mondeo after market pump supplier that has same clips seals in Czechoslovakia. Waiting response. It would be nice to fit new collars/seals.
Hope all the above helps others to avoid £400 bill. [color:#FF0000][/color]

Attachment for last sentence of previous post.

This is supposed to be a regulator and filter, i have throw out several over the time, and far as i know (all car have been sold) never be a problem, you can easily find a new one going with the existing one in a good car shop spare part (it's almost universal) if you have concern to throw it in the trash bin.

The GDI doesn't look like that at all:

Interesting you only have one pipe on the sender. as its fuel injected how does the excess fuel at low revs.
get back into the tank?

Regarding my jpeg 1059.With the two components. I assume one is the actual fuel pump (Black bo) whats the small round component?

Thanks its good to know what it is. I don't think its the cause of my connector failure problem but its good to know they are easily sourced.- Unlike my sender conector bits.

I have been told by MMC they be forced to made a change in the gas tank no so long ago for a question of EU certification, maybe it's why is GDI have only one exit.

for the point of the filter regulator i have see several strange case due to this "Cra***" , several time i have try to blow air in it for see if it work or not i never arrive to make it work, so better to change or throw it (that's what i will do if i be at your place)

The item in pic1057 is the fuel filter.

The item to the left in 1059 is the charcoal canister, to stop hydrocarbon fumes coming out of the vent.

The item to the right in 1059 is the roll over valve, this is to stop liquid fuel from venting when you roll the car.

The fuel pump is in the tank.

DaveW. Some modern cars do not return fuel to the tank. They control the fuel pressure by measuring the pressure at the fuel rail and the ECU uses this to control the pressure by varying the speed of the pump and so do not have a return line. I do not know for sure if this is what Morgan do but it could well be.
