possible bosch pump problem/ no acceleration
#8
That little white X on the bottom part of the filter housing is a thermostat to help heat the fuel, could possibly be the source of your problems.

Did you fully degrease the filter housing before re-assembling??
Any trace of veg oil left will prevent the silicone from sticking.

You can rip the white X out, and all the gubbins inside and do the 'penny mod'
Where you basically silicone a penny in place to seal the housing - it provides constant heating for the fuel, and in theory better running on veg as it's always warmed.

You need to remember to silicone the lid on the filter housing too as they often leak there, it means you'll need to leave it all to dry overnight before filling/priming the fuel system but it works a treat.
