me again! seems there was more problems than I thought with my first RS! when I go around a roundabout/sharp bend when under half a tank, the car cuts out and is a b*gger to start again. I was thinking that it was drawing air from somewhere, but it cant be a fuel line or it would be leaking fuel - which its not. Is the sender unit maybe not in correctly or something?

as always, thanks for any input.

Are you certain your guage is accurate? Also, it may be the tank it'self, perhaps it doesn't have a swirl pot inside, just a couple more things to think about...

 

ive changed the clocks twice to make sure its not the gauge
whats a swirl pot do? ive seen alot of polished/alloy swirl pots for sale, dont actually know its uses? cheers

 

No I am on about the one inside the fuel tank, it may depend on what fuel tank you are running but as I see it part of the design is to eliminate fuel starvation when going round corners etc.

 

I see. So does all RSs come with a swirl pot as standard? I will taek the tank off and have a look, ive got a spare tank so if theres no swirl pot/fauty one ill replace it. where on the tank is it?

cheers

 

The plastic swirl pot inside your tank is fucked. Basically you need a new petrol tank.

 

as above though somone might have swapped the tanks for a non rs tank sure all injection tanks have the swirl pot in though

 

just had this prob too mate,so i changed for another rs tank and sorted probs out,they have a swirl pot inside.Easy to change too
