I have replaced the filter primer assembly. However from cold or if stopped
for more than 5 mins, I have to re-prime the filter.
I suspect an air leak in the tank to primer pipeline which breaks the vacum
feed to the filter. Is this a known problem with a (1986) 205D ?
There isn't an auxillary lift pump with this engine, can one be fitted ?
Many thanks

I had a similar problem with a lucas filter unit (unscrew plunger type
primer), found it coincided with low fuel levels and associated with
negative pressure in fuel tank - air sucks in when removing fuel filler cap.
I found that the bleed vent was completely blocked from mud - situated in
wheel arch by filler cap. It can be cleaned out but best replaced and tube
unblocked too!
I have also had problems with a preheater block on a pug 205D with a bosch
fuel filter. This is behind the engine and I had to replace the conections -
my Peugeot spares man told what they sold most of!!!
Hope this helps

Yeah, I had that too on my '93 205... Didn't remove the filler ass'y, tried
to remove the blocking mud but it was too far away to be reached.
I drilled a hole in the cap and it makes the trick. The only problem is the
presence of greasy traces on the cap, due to fuel vapors, not a critical
problem I'd say.
