Z's on BAT and other places collection

Recommended Posts


The bottom tube is for bypassed fuel keeping the pressure from getting too high, it's returned to the tank in a proper set up. Seems like we're discussing a very missed attempt to put an NLA dampener "looking" part on a high pressure fuel pump. The PO was going by looks instead of function. Had he searched he would have found an alternative.

I thought we were talking about the BRE car. :facepalm::beer:

If that is what the device is, then the bypassed fuel would pour out the open port, onto the ground.

Fuel won't flow backward through the FPR.  It's pushing on a tiny little area.  Hydraulics.

So the device on the BAT car is item 16 in this diagram, which would be mounted near the injector fuel rail, under the hood, not at the rear of the car downstream of the fuel pump.

Now, what was he trying to address with this trick? 

Maybe just saving some money?  Didn't have spare hose or tubing?  Had a spare FPR laying around and needed to stop a fuel leak so he could sell it?

There was a thread in the past about alternatives.  They're out there but if you go to the Z specific web sites, that looks like a quick and dirty good idea.

Interesting drama on BAT.  Arizona retitling.

Imagine having your z car stolen, and then seeing it on BaT a few months later!  What a story played out in the comments! And some people just kept bidding.

 

I had a motorcycle stolen years ago.  I eventually got it back when I saw it in the back of a guy's truck.  NOTHING ever happened to the thief as he claimed he bought from "some Mexican".

Most states have laws against possession of stolen goods. Sounds like they didn't want to mess with him.
