Yes , has been shown before , I think you will find it originated in the states from the company selling the parts.
But that black thing is not a non return valve by itself, so how much use is it???...LOL
Cheers
Who knows! But mine has the duck valve thing on so it’s some use to me!

Yep same as mine was, as said try it, if it does not improve the issue swap it over to the LP inlet from the pump and see what happens. Although TBH ,not been following this thread so do not know what issues you are having.
my old worn out ducks bill was slightly open on the ducks bill, the new one was obviously fully closed, which is at it should be.
Cheers
I could have two now I’ve got a spare?

OK, blaming that on copper washers is a new one on me........ never heard that before.
Cheers
To be honest me neither but when you’re clutching at straws I’ll take any advice offered
Update: having had a good run last night the fuel pump was quiet again. However my next problem is that the MAP reading is topping out at 0.72 bar so need to investigate that. Could possibly be caused by the failing alternator? Voltage was all over the place between 11v and 14v, though mostly at the lower end

In general or the pump? Didn’t change anything for the pump but generally can only assume the air bleed valve, although I’ve read the filter head/housing can also develop problems so one or the other or both. The real test will be tomorrow once it’s sat a while......
Just hope the alternator hasn’t buggered the ecu, had this problem with the limited MAP reading last year and put it down the aap sensor being wired up incorrectly, perhaps the alternator was already failing by then

Stupid me should have realised when the MAP reading was exactly the same as before, I’d swapped the ecu’s a while ago to see if it was the fuel map causing the overfuelling/rough starting and hadn’t swapped them back over!
I’ve just been up and started it and there was a little white smoke/roughness and the pump is noisey again

How does it start first thing in the morning if before trying to start it, you run the purge process with a fully charged good battery
