Hi,
I know your all watching the game but I'm listening and trying to sort car out before Tuesday track day.

On way home this morning from work, I tried to fill my tank up but really struggled and had to just have the pump cracked in or it would cut out as the fuel wasn't going in quick enough.

There was 16L in it so run for 24 but could only get 15 as it was painfully slow.

Have got it jacked up and just removing OSR wheel liner to have a look and suspect a blockage on a vent from fuel tank.

Have you any ideas to save me time or even a drawing?

(come on England)

Another goal and a great result from me. Found the problem, the vent pipe after the filters (charcoal, I think) had moved slightly and was sitting on the outside of the main fill pipe, blocking the flow, so have moved it to one side and can now vent away. If only all jobs were so simple. Posted ImagePosted Image
