if i let my 2wd saff fuel level get near the 1/4 level on the gauge when i accellerate hard it pulls in 1st then dies for a second when changing into any other gear but since keeping loads more fuel in has been fine.. has anyone else had this problem..?? cheers

 

New fuel filter time

 

Change your fuel tank - sounds like the accumulator is not filling properly (tank dented or internal blockage) causing air to be drawn into pump and onto the fuel rail. Probably OK in first, because the car has been sitting at idle, so accumulator has time to fill (but more slowly than it should). Had exactly the same problem on my saff with the original Ford tank when 1/4 full or less.

 

how often do they need changing.. ? its only started doing this since fitting braided fuel lines and turning the fuel filter round to join to the pump with screw fittings..

 

i have been thinking maybe the tank.. although its brand new last year if i take the feed hose off the tank i would have expected the whole tank to empty but only a trickle comes out then stops? or should it do this..?
it is one of these pattern tanks not a ford one.. if i keep the car full of fuel it runs fine..

 

it has no dents in the tank but when i tried to get the fuel out of it when off the car i did shake the fook out of it.. still none came out of where i wanted it to tho..

 

would having the pump and filter like this cause a problem for fuel flow??

 

tank's fucked

 

tank and filter it is then.. i got my last tank off an ebay shop does anyone have a link for one..?

 

i change my fuel filter once a year ... just think of the damage that could happen if it got blocked..

 

If you had a Esc Cos you would get used to it
