My Type 3 Fastback isn't healthy. Before I brought it into my barn to be fixed up it had been left in a field for about 16 years. Most of my problems with it so far have been rubber related. I've replaced all of the easily accessable fuel lines and I got a used fuel pump to replace the one that didn't work. Eventually I got the engine to go, but it died on me and it won't start up anymore. It seems like it's not getting any fuel. Now when the starter cranks the engine I see gas dripping down the oil pan on the driver's side; from the trunk's view I can't see where the leak is coming from. 1- I think the leak is from one of the injectors but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? 2-Is there any way I can check to see if the fuel lines are all clear (including at the injectors)? 3-I'm not so confident that my fuel pump is working sufficiently, is there a way I can find out if it's pumping enough fuel to the engine? 4-Does anyone know how the fuel return valve works? (on my pump you can't blow air through it, is it supposed to be this way?) I'd realy appreciate any help. Tnanks. _____________________ Richard Steinburg Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada wagen@pangea.ca
