Air lock in the fuel system on fiesta 250 vee

paddington75

Hello there. We're getting a persistent air lock in the fuel system on our fiesta 250 vee 2005. The problem seems to be the fuel filler assembly where the fuel line and vent line join together. Should I replace the fuel filler assembly or re-route the vent line to a new over board position?  Many thanks in advance for your help. Cheers Mike

I wanted to respond and hopefully we get an answer.  I have a 2004 Fiesta Vee and have had two occasions where the fuel spews out the filler.  Last time I had some significant leakage in to the bilge.  Any luck?

Do you mean when filling? The vent line is built into the filler cap (usually) so it's not just a case of rerouting. Sometimes the vent gets plugged though with spider webs, dirt and other junk. Clean it out and should be good. Also need to really ease up on the last little bit if filling right up.
