I was referring to the part of the return pipe inside the tank coming adrift and not flowing in to the pot rather than a blockage.

A blockage would cause running problems, including high MPG, as the fuel pressure would be too high....

I second Piggy`s comment Dutchie.English is a strange language....the Americans spell many words differently,the Aussie version is often abbreviated ,I fall back on spell-check but that doesn`t sort any bad grammar moments!Reckon you have to be an English teacher to spell 100%!

I was lazy on my mini bike tour of Holland because everyone spoke English very well so never learned much Dutch,but love to hear the spoken language. Couple of years ago when some Dutch language books came up on the local freecycle network I was lucky enough to secure them......mind you haven`t used them yet! Just like the French audio tapes I was given nearly 20 years ago...and what became of my interest in learning Spanish?...

Could anyone please help. I'm after anyone that help with finding a company that reconditions Alternators as mine decided to pack up yesterday. I cannot afford the price of a new one.
Any help will be much appreciated. I'm from the hertfordshire area so nearest to me would be better.

Cheers
