Yarco Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'd have a look inside the tank at the fuel pump hangar and its piping in case there's an issue in there. Ye it's weird isn't it? The car only hesitates when the tank is half empty? Fill it up and fine, I'm lost. New fuel pump going in soon so should resolve any concerns about the pump.

Chris Wilson Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Has anyone fiddled with the carbon canister piping? I am also thinking the tank vent is blocked, creating an excessive vacuum in the tank as the fuel level drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Could possibly be a damaged / loose pipe on the hanger? As the fuel level drops past the problem area there would be air sucked into the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The hose section is on the pressure side, the suction side is direct off the pick up sock. The sock may have fallen off though. or the hanger could be bent. Dunno, needs a coat of looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have a full check up when this is done but thanks for the advice. TBH I keep having issues with the fuel gauge, just stops working and when I had it checked the sensor (what ever it is) in the fuel tank keeps falling off. This may have something to do the situation. I'll post an update in a couple of weeks when then fuel tank is opened up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
