Help!!! Fuel Pump Wire Tired With Waterproof by chisunday(m): 9:55am On Jan 24, 2016 |
Dear Nairalanders, pls I went to aba to look for a diagnosing centre to scan my Camry v6 2000 model that would not accelerate after throttling while in motion.but when I off the engine for a while and start it again would begin to accelerate.I couldn't find any except a mechanic who told me it is a fuel pump problem,that I need to change it.He then brought out a fuel pump from his car and told me its 3000 naira and that it will solve the problem.But I discovered that when he was changing the fuel pump he used black waterproof to tire the scratched positive and negative wire and then insert the pump into the fuel. Pls how safe is this considering the fact that fuel is or could be touching the wires? When I ask him of the safety of the job he did said no problem.I paid him and drove from aba to portharcourt without experiencing the acceleration problem at least for that yesterday. |

chisunday: Very very dangerous. You should know better. A slight spark in the tank and you know the rest of the story. Its better you have them taped properly. There are tapes for electrical connections you could get one |

ithere are better ways of insulating wires that go into a fuel tank, unfortunately you were stranded on the road, and had were out of options. Using black tape is a stupid idea, because it will not hold in petrol, what you have at the moment will not melt, and will insulate the positive and negative terminals. I do not approve of it, but if the wires are joined properly, it will serve. (if the wires are not joined properly, there will be partial contact which will lead to stalling and possibly a breakdown. Best bet will be to buy the entire fuel pump with case since your present one has been compromised. |
