Porsche 996 GT3 Fuel Pump Hose Failure Repair at Murtha Motorsports

Jeremy had a problem with his Porsche 996 GT3. Under heavy throttle, the car would sputter and lose power. He brought it to our technicians here at Murtha Motorsports, where we discovered that the fuel pump hose was ruptured and delivering only 10-15 psi. Let’s dive into what went into this diagnostic and repair service for Jeremy’s Porsche 996 GT3.

Fuel Pump Replacement

After running diagnostics on the car, our technicians determined that the fuel pump hose was ruptured and only delivering 10-15 psi. This is far below what it should be. We replaced the entire fuel pump assembly and filter to fix this issue and performed scheduled maintenance services.

Scheduled Maintenance Services

This included checking all of its fluids, changing out any dirty or low fluids, and inspecting all of its belts, hoses, seals, gaskets, filters, spark plugs, wires, etc., to ensure everything was running smoothly and efficiently within the car itself. Finally, we replaced the ignition coils with an updated design that is much thicker than before and less prone to cracking or failure.
