Mazda Bongo fuel starvation: cleaning the Banjo Filter

Mazda Bongo repairs; this video is about getting you back on the road in the short term after a fuel starvation problem. The main fuel filter should do just that, filter any bits from the fuel before it gets to the injectors and causes a major problem. In the Mazda Bongo there is a secondary very small filter as a last line of defence; the Banjo Filter. This is a very small fine mesh metal filter just before the injectors, if your fuel filter is a little bit long in the tooth this will stop your injectors from getting blocked, which is quite costly. The symptoms are the same as a blocked fuel filter (as it is one) but in the short term it can be an easy ten minute fix without the need for any additional parts. In the long term you need to replace the main fuel filter as it is no longer doing it's job.

You can find me on Facebook;   / schnuz.nauzer.3   , but you will need to be patient as I don't get on too well with Facebook. It may be a good idea to post a comment on a recent YouTube video of mine to give me a nudge in the right direction .

Many thanks go to those on the Bongo Face Book Group for suggesting what to try to fix the problem, I don't know the details as I don't really do Face Book, but the wife does.

Many thanks to James of BlackMamba who has very kindly given me permission to add the music from their CD “Alive N' Violent” as a backing track to my videos. They are a Preston based heavy metal group and their music is pretty awesome. In my opinion similar in style and quality to Maiden and The Almighty among others. Great to listen to and original music and lyrics, Check them out:
