That\'s Lum\'s old car, don\'t think you should have too many issues with that one. If you want to know more about it, search under his username and read back his posts about it. HTH

not sure if you\'ll have the same issue\'s with yours, but i\'ve got a bosche 044 pump in mine and it doesn\'t pick up the bottom 1/4 of the tank.

The guy who had it before me neglected to mention it when i picked it up, so i found out the hard way.

the pump when fitted didnt pick up fuel from just over 1/4 tank and less, this causes lean areas and the engine to pop. there are various methods used to compensate for this such as swirl pots etc, easiest is just not to let the fuel get that low.

Post by: Rzla on August 05, 2009, 01:34:26 PM
Stop scaring the poor chap!
The 1/4 tank is a common fault with the Bosch pumps not just this car... as has been mentioned just don\'t let the fuel get that low... it only goes lean when you are cornering hard not in a straight line but again just don\'t let it get that low.

Post by: Bulla on August 05, 2009, 01:36:17 PM
I thought the Bosch 1/4 tank problem was just down to incorrect fitting ?

From what I have been told the Bosch pump stuggles to detect the fuel level when it is below a quarter tank on turning and thus can cause fuel starvation (I may well be wrong). You can get a sock or a swirl pot to counter this problem. I have a Bosch pump and never let it go below a quarter.

The BNR fuel pump doesn\'t have this problem with detection of fuel levels below a 1/4 tank.

fun a swirl pot mate. I run a 044 pump with swirl pot and never had fuel starvation on track with it. And that was with the fuel light on :)
