  1. The lift pump works since I cleaned it. By low pressure I mean that the last time I ran it it was overreving significantly in neutral, which I was told is an issue with BMCs when air enters the fuel system, which I later found out that it was doing, through cracked injector pump return line. The line is now fixed, and through discussion on another forum I have narrowed down the main issue to the injector pump, probably caused by diesel bug. Any tips on cleaning the injector pump gause without creating additional problems would be very welcome. So I could potentially remove the non return valve? Does yours have two fuel filters? The valve is after the lift pump, which is after the secondary filter with water seperator.
  2. Where can I purchase one of these please?
  3. Hi guys, I think I have a related issue, but probably caused by diesel bug. Any tips on removing end plate and cleaning the gause? It may be possible to do so in-situ, if that would create less problems in the long run.

  5. Hey guys, sorry to revive an old thread, but I think I have a related topic. My non-return valve is mounted on the main filter lift-pump inlet. Is there a reason for this, or is it incorrect? By the way, my vessel is ocean going, not a canal boat, but this forum seems the best place for info on my BMC 1.5. I have a photo, but not sure how to add it here. Edit - she ran a few months ago, but with a low pressure problem, now she won't start. The spring in non-return valve was destroyed, I replaced it, but after reading this I realise that could be my problem. However, the valve in it's current position should allow fuel to flow in correct direction, but could restrict it's flow somewhat.
