205toby 0 Posted April 6, 2008 As the title says.. Am I the only one that gets fuel surge? It seems to do it at anything less than 1/2 a tank. Very anoying and I really don't want to run any more than half a tank on trackdays. I've been thinking of a boot mounted surge tank and external Bosh pump. Anyone done anything similar? Cheers and thanks in advance! Toby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted April 6, 2008 Its a fairly common problem, there are definitely other threads on this subject. try searching for: +fuel +surge and make sure you are searching all forums.

Pugnut 9 1 Cars Posted April 6, 2008 i got terrible problems with this after fitting an early pump to a late tank . the pickups/sumps are different and when mixed give pretty poor results. what is the year of you're car and does the fuel pump have a connector directly on it , or short wires app 3" long then the connector ?

Nathan 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Mine gets it real bad, 1/2 on the road and just less the 3/4 on track! When I pull my finger out I'm going to strip and inspect the pump (not sure if thats possible) as its probally a good few years old. If this doesn't improve things I'll rig up a fuel swirl pot with a secondary pump to feed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted April 7, 2008 Change to the other type of pump, i've found it's been that in my cases before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry 1 Posted April 7, 2008 Your obviously not cornering fast enough then I get fuel surge since changing pumps, although this will be cured when I fit my Swirl pot and external Walbro pump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
