Gordon Bayley Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Out in the TR6 last weekend, we both heard this 'tromboning' sounding noise from the boot, it seemed to disappear when I pressed the accelerator. I have a bosch conversion fuel pump and I have read somewhere about resonance and pressure reducing valves My question is, has anyone else experienced this and what is the solution?

kcsun Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 If you have the Bosch conversion you probably have an inline filter between the tank and pump. I would open it up, have a clean out of any muck and replace the paper element, they are only a couple of quid and hopefully an easy fix. It could be the pump is struggling to get enough flow to it and that is causing the "strange" noises kc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aardvark Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Hello Gordan I guess one man's warbling is another's tromboning . Check out my thread today at 1453. Perhaps we have the same noise and therefore need the same remedy! Cheers Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Smith Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Gordon, I had a similar problem in VUX a few years back - the noise was resonance in the fuel line and the solution was the replace the long (too long) braided hose with a PTFE lined one (from Revs) and fit a Diagphram PRV . This cured the problem - if you use the search tool and search the TR6 Forum for ' Vu-Vu-Zella' you will find my thread(s). Cheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brucer Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I had a similar problem and replaced the PRV with a diaphragm type and all has been fine since. Bruce Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Bayley Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) No Monkeys, the tiger in the tank would have had it Quite a few suggestions, dirty filter, air in the pipework, PRV, length of fuel hoses, braided fuel lines, vibrating pipes etc. Also power cable not heavy enough duty for the bosch pump; decided to check PRV first and fuel filter as the PRV is the original part suitable for the lucas system and the bosch has a higher flow rate. It will be a week or two before I can do this Cheers Gordon Edited July 8, 2015 by Gordon Bayley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bayley Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 The Trombone player has now gone ,we now have a very nice harmonica note coming from the boot, I got a new fuel filter and pressure relief valve from Prestige at Wrexham also a long chat , very helpful, the car is now sounding and running better, next job will be to fit heavier cable relay and fuse to the bosch pump..

Ian Cornish Yep race car on trailer behind, person in the car next to me said that i had a trainer hanging from under the vehicle and may be losing some luggage. You can guess the rest as there was still a leg in it needless to say he slid out very easy due to the good old TR oil leaks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
