efi malfunction 1.2...

ever experienced fuel leaking from ur car??... yes i did... fuel hose connecting to the fuel pump outlet leaked...

1st time leak happened before i started journey back to ipoh... nvm, cut away the punctured hose and reconnect it to the fuel pump...

2nd time leak... happened at tanjung malim RnR... same method, cut away the punctured part and reconnect it to the fuel pump... at this point, the hose is very short and barely reaching the fuel pump...

3rd time leak... Gopeng exit... this time i wouldnt have enough rubber if i were to cut away the punctured part... i would have to extend the hose with some extra fuel hose found in my tool box... i search through the glove box and i found my el cheapo tyre pressure gauge... i dismantled the whole thing and took the metal housing tube as connector...

see how crude it is... well at least it managed to bring me back home safely to ipoh...



the next day i quickly changed the whole hose with a new one...



from my estimation, i think i lost almost half tank of petrol on PLUS highway...
