Hey Guys, First time poster with recently purchased 2014 FG XR6 turbo sedan ( 2 weeks ago ), and have been lurking in this forum 'quietly' for a long while, and before buying this beauty.....I had 2 ( 84 + 85 ) XF's and 1998 EL XR8 ( that is for sale )First things first........fuelling the car up seems to be a small issue. I use BP 98, and when I stick the nozzle into the tank to fuel up, I have to hold the nozzle at half throttle to fill the tank or it quickly froths up and stops the pump. Is this normal or do I possibly have a fuel vent blockage somewhere??

Yeah that's a fairly normal symptom. If it does it on every single pump you use then you might have an issue, but it seems unlikely that you actually have an issue.

Welcome mate!

 

Hear a lot of people say the same thing, and I too struggled when I first bought the car. There's a special technique to filling these rigs up 😋

It'll take a couple attempts but you'll soon get it filling up without it clicking the pump off

Gday all, been reading the forum for a while, I've owned a Mk2 FG for a couple of years and I've just done suspension and wheels. Thought I should join up in case I decide to jump into power mods anytime soon. I trust you guys will steer me in the right direction, I see a lot of nice builds on here. This is my first turbo so I'm pretty novice with these motors, my previous decent Fords have been V8s.

Here's a pic of my Barra, cheers guys
