Fuel Starvation poll

Felix 808 · 07-23-2013, 01:30 PM

I am curious to those who have experienced fuel starvation, what year your Z is. Manufactures often make changes without notification, like the steering lock, it just magically disappeared mid 2011 & then was recalled in about late 2012.

Anyway if you have experienced fuel starvation please list what year your Z is. I'm trying to capture info on if the newer Z's have suffered the same. I know driving styles & fuel levels vary between drivers, but just curious as to what years have suffered the most.

Thanks guys

I think having a running Z is sort of a requirement to experience it

Still wishing you well with that

Thats cause you drive around on A/S+

Not enough grip to get fuel cut. BTW A/S+ are getting replaced. Michelin just released the A/S3's. We got some shipped to us yesterday.

Yeah, but they could have changed the way the fuel is picked up. There is a $1000 fix mentioned around here that changes the pump & pick up while utilizing the same tank. Like I mentioned, sometimes manufactures will discover something & change it later down the production line without making any noise about it. Oil cooler, steering lock both come to mind

. Other manufactures do this as well without issuing a recall.

That could be true. Also, less 12's and 13's sold, so that could be a reason for lower numbers as well.

Not a great poll as people's opinion of how they drive will differ greatly!! Only way is for everyone to pull their pumps and see if pics very.
