Cheers Nathan, will talk to simpsons they owe me a favour!

could it not just be the fuel pick up line in the tank having been dislodged??

might be worth looking at before buying a pot and extra pump

I had it when down to just over 1/4 tank, only seemed to get it coming out of sharp corner with slight incline.

Tried to leave half tank minimum and had no issues.

If others are suffering I reckon its poor baffle design.

no stuttering, and no remap.

Have found my solution!! Well CA found it.

I already have a spare pump so the cost for me will be reduced quite a bit.

But this is a pretty good solution to a problem that most of us have. And its OEM!!

Nothing to do with remap mate, its because in long sweeping right hand curves with low fuel quantity the pump on the right hand side is unable to suck fuel. simples.

Good find

If you have a spare pump (like me) what else would you need and are you gonna buy the kit or just find the bits?

A nessecity I would say.

I remember Simpsons telling me the fuel system was a crap design for exactly this reason.

Can happen with anything from between 1/2 down to 1/4

Already spoken to Roy from CA, told him I have the pump already and he said he will sort out the rest of the bits for me.

Give him a call tomorrow Shim tell him you heard it from me.

Completely agree!

I was getting it from just below 1/2.

Obviously depends how hard you are pushing it.

Can t wait to get this sorted as it was my biggest problem at the mo.
