How is it you put petrol 'straight into the pump'? Isnt the pump in the tank?
We take the pipe off in the engine. It's just a process of illimination.
We know it's got something to do with thr fuel pump.

Is your keyboard broken or are the schools really that bad in your location?

What site?

Using your post, I'll give you an example of proper English:
"You should find something better to do, sad little individual."
Look if you do not stop i am going to get the police involved as you are now harassing me. All i did was to pose a question and i get you this idiot.

If you don't stop, I'm going to call Sr. Mary Crucius. She was my seventh grade grammar teacher.
Are you in a mental hospital ?
Shepherdson is posting from a web site
formatting link
that links to usenet, so that's the site he's probably claiming he will have you removed from. He hasn't figured out that a nice coherent properly punctuated/spelled and easily read/understood post will get him an answer much quicker. Who want's to spend minutes sorting through the bad posting to help someone? If "they" can't bother posting it readable "they" shouldn't expect a resonable answer. He isn't worth the extra effort.
Maybe your fuel pump relay is going bad, pretty soon it will either fail open or closed. If it fails closed you will have to undo the battery terminal to shut it off.
Thank you very much for your reply if this is the case do i need to buy a new pump.

Do you speak like this?
If a new relay fixes your problem then no.
