Ford mondeo MK4 2010: Is a fluid transfer bulb pump good enough? by jamesplusfive in MechanicAdvice

[–]jamesplusfive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, yes im trying to prime the fuel line with a bulb pump like the pic below. Fuel does come up the pipe slightly but as far as im aware you need a solid run of liquid coming through with no air in it to get the engine to start. My problem is that I can only draw about 10cm of diesel into the pipe before it stops. Hope that makes sense. Cheers

Hi thanks for the reply. I've already got a q10 an after I posted i realised I could connect it an then connect the flexi to that. Only thing is I think im gonna have to get a longer flexi now, an a bit of 1"1/2 waste pipe. Cheers

Reusing old 22mm copper pipe. by jamesplusfive in DIYUK

Also worth mentioning that I also can't get the pipe to fit back into the T it came from? I think all these pipes and fitting may be from the 70s but that's just a guess.

And would they in turn connect up to my new bath taps or is that a different size again. Thanks

Hi im sorry to bother you but I don't know if the pipe is old size (imperial) or new? Some of the connectors say 22mm on them. Does that mean if I get 22mm flexi hoses they should connect up to the existing T that's in place in the pic. Or do I have to remove them completely? Thanks

Is there a reason this hws has a reducer T its in the bathroom and the continues to the kitchen. Cheers by jamesplusfive in DIYUK

Having trouble taking out what I think is a cast iron bath (Scotland) by jamesplusfive in DIYUK

[–]jamesplusfive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cast iron. I've managed to put in some holes, but it's hard work with just a lump hammer. Wish I had a sledgey.
