Hi
I've got a problem with the fuel system in my car, after a week or so of non use it takes a while to fire up and start, I don't know if this is due to the fuel evaporating or somehow draining back to the tank.

What I do know is that the glass fuel filter is empty,and I'm sure all this turning over can't be doing the starter any good.

So what is my best course of action ? A non return valve on the line or an electric pump ?

Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Hal

Yes I suppose using it would probably help 😀

I may well go the way you suggest and try the non return valve first,then if no luck go for the electric pump.

Thanks
