Another fuel cut off Solenoid has gone

[airsine]

Once again my Bongo's engine wont turn off and I'm suspecting that the Fuel Cut Off Solenoid that got replaced 3 months ago has failed. The replacement Solenoid wasn't new, but I'm thinking that to kill two in three months has got to be more than a coincidence - what do you guys think?

To add to my suspicions, both Solenoids failed straight after filling up the tank.

Any ideas appreciated.

It could just be bad luck

I dont know how they work though

Would be worth getting the wiring checked. You may have a broken wire or faulty connection somewhere.

If the wiring proves okay then i'm afarid your fuel cut off solenoid will need replacing.

If I remember correctly, the starter solenoid is usually part of the circuitry for the fuel solenoid. If the starter solenoid contacts keep sticking all the time, this can cause the fuel solenoid to burn out, so you may have one problem causing another. Two solenoids in 3 months could point to the starter solenoid, and perhaps the "filling up the tank" scenario is just coincidence.

Cheers old_GH, that's well worth getting checked out.
