My company has received this Rolls to auction off. Underneath the passenger front engine bay I have 2 pipes that look like there is something missing (maybe a filter), the pipes are different diameters and the larger one is pouring fuel out when the pump starts. I have tried to look up the fuel system diagrams, but I have had no luck. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Alanna

The larger one is fuel run off when you have stuck carb floats and float valves.

 

[Alanna]

Thank you so much for your quick reply, would tapping the carbs possibly shake it loose?

 

[Wraithman]

Yes, slight chance. You may have a breached float so that may not help.

 

[Jim Walters]

Tapping lightly on top of the float bowl on the side of the carb may work but you may also have a float that has sunk. Do you know if the car has sat unused for a long time? Any service records with it? Where is it going to be auctioned?

 

[Jim Walters]

www.rrtechnical.info and Home Both of those sites will have workshop manuals with info on the carbs and fuel system. On the Bentley Heritage site, you can enter your VIN and the correct diagrams for that actual car will be available.

 

[Alanna]

That worked thank you for your help!

 

[Jim Walters]

Could you provide some info on the car going to auction?

 

[Alanna]

It's going up for sale in Ontario Canada

 

[Alanna]

There will be more info on it when it gets listed on erinauctions.com
Not sure yet when that will be, we just got it in yesterday.. I will try to remember to update when it is close.

 

[Alanna]

Sorry, new question, what kind of transmission fluid will this car take, and where can I get a new key made.

 

[Wraithman]

Use fluid designed for GM transmissions. Do you know how to check? It must be warmed up (driven) and left in idle at Park position. Cannot check when cold.

 

[Jim Walters]

Any locksmith, but they need to have 62HF and 62HD blanks.

 

[Alanna]

Thank you

 

[Alanna]

So something like dexron III?

 

[Jim Walters]

Yes that will work fine.

 

[Alanna]

Thank you for the info.
