Long Weekend so decided to drop the fuel tank, straighten the tank protector plate and fix the sender units in the fuel tank (petrol). Had a hell of a knock a while back and the gauge never went below 1/2 even through the tank was empty.
Got all that done - real pain in the backside :( but done. Looks like I have now created another real problem. This did not have this yesterday when the tank was near empty but filled today and now have problem. Rechecked all the fittings for leaks but could not see any.
The car runs 100% fine for a while but then has short shudders / hiccups from fuel starvation (I think) then runs fine again for a while. Seems worse on an incline or when coasting down hill.
I idled the car on the inclined driveway (nose up) and the tried to swap it round to nose down. Engine stalled at the bottom of the drive and then the Real scary part was that a load of petrol spew out from somewhere up near the filler cap:(:(
Obviously cant drive it like this and do not want to go back into expensive care..
Must have done something wrong but cant figure what.. any suggestions??
