Hi everyone

I need a help (see title as above)

basically, i put full tank twice a week. In full tank, normally i get around between 250-270 miles. i know it should be more than 300 miles per full tank.

Right now, i am not knowledgeable mechanic. i do really want to fix myself.

please could anyone can tell about servicing injectors ( one of injectors are wet so i will upload a pic in soon)

how can i rid of dirt in my fuel tank? and also want to clean these fuel lines from tank to fuel filter. what about fuel pressure?

have i miss out anything?

I just want to fix everything as my micra need to be prefect and to live longer

You should be able to get a new o ring for that injector jk, the screws tend to be very tight tho

I would change the fuel filter and open the old one up first mate, and if its full of crap then you would have to remove the tank really

recently, i replaced new fuel filter so it was spill with very dirty brown liquid. so i should replace new tank right?

I replaced my filter and it just spilled clear petrol. Brown can't be a good sign

But I guess that IS the filters job. Filter out all the crap so I'd expect it to be dirty.

What colour was the liquid from the pipe going TO the filter?

mine wasn't clear petrol though. it was dirt and brown.... i need to change new fuel filter again. if its bad again then i need to change new tank.

before i remove fuel filter. it will be spill over so i use old yellow cloth to catch these spills. it was clear and smell of petrol too.

i think this old fuel filter from beginning. i think they never change it until i did

Dirty lines and tank shouldn't give you less economy, check your lambda etc

yea that is what i am thinking about lambda sensor. sometimes i get smell like too rich

still i will do everything in soon

 

[jk9194]

is fuel tank metal or plastic container?

 

[will930]

Well always check the simplest things first before you waste time and money, just change the fuel filer every 10k or whatever

Plastic, so no rusting tank problems.

you can buy an additive to add with the fuel and will clean injectors and fuel lines. Use them at work on common rail diesels but im sure there is a petrol on out there
