They change too much / often to give a good real reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA2473 Member 62 Member For: 16y 2m 4d Gender: Male Posted 22/05/09 10:43 PM Share Posted 22/05/09 10:43 PM It doesnt matter what intank pump you have when it comes to fuel surge. If there is no fuel around the pump it doesnt run on air.... also from reading the forum it seams that fuel surge is worse in utes than sedans..there is a number of members who have this problem (not all)I just would not take the risk is a couple $$ more.. but get a quote to rebuit you motor when it has a small electrical problem, caused by a rod knocking the alternator off...anyway back on track.. get 3 mates and take the tub off. (dont forget to unplug number plate light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(dont forget to unplug number plate light)It is the opposite mate.Sedans are bad for fuel surge.Utes are good ujntil big power.BTW I drive on the race track with R comp slicks with no problems with surge. That is what I call fast corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
