[delbouy]

Hi I have a problem with my bongo, I had the front end up on ramps looking for an oil leak when it ran out of fuel I have put fuel in the tank but it will not start. I have taken the pipe off the pump and sucked fuel through but it still won't start please help!!!!!!

Whenever mine runs out it self starts. Where are you it may be local bongonaut can jump start it.

It has been known to takke three batteries worth to get the guel through.

Hmm. Crud in the fuel filter or banjo filter maybe?

crack open an injector pipe at either end, then attempt to start it, this will tell you if fuel is there at the pump outlet, if not work backwards to the tank.
put a cloth over the cracked pipe though as it will decorate your roof with diesel if its there.
