hi,
i was driving my nova gte today and smelt a really strong fuel smell inside the car. when i looked at the fuel pump i noticed that there was fuel pouring out of what looked to be the pipe that goes from the fuel diaphragm damper to the pump. when i got home and took the pipe off i found that the metal tube had snapped off the damper unit...
i went to a motorfactors, and they laughed at me when i asked if i could order one...

what can i do? i need to get to work on monday morning, can i run the car without the damper? or does anyone know anywhere to get one or anyonbe selling one?

cheers guys

You'll be able to run it ok without the damper, i've ran mine in the past without one with no probs.
