370 PSA, fill up your tank or turn left only

Mr&Mrs · 07-24-2013, 09:16 AM

If you dont speak of problems how can anyone learn from them or fix them? I have also never had to call a tow truck mine has always re-primed. Not to mention a 35-40k sports car should not get stuck on the side of the road because we turned to fast.

I have had multiple different fuel starve scenarios as well so sharing the information and tank level at the time can help others. The most common assumption is it only happens on long sweeping turns. I can prove that wrong if anyone wants to go for a ride.

I enjoy reading the stories they are all different and give me more knowledge. I dont have to baby my car around every right hand turn because I know about a fuel starve problem, I just need to know what level my fuel tank should be at. Unfortunatly it cant always be full.

I guess its more fun to sit on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck? I don't get it.

fair enough, but all I saw in the past 6 pages was the beating of well deceased horse. I'm not seeing many solutions being proposed, so I proposed one.

The fix was mentioned once in this thread.

I don't have any curves like that to try on.

This is not a daily street driven problem for most. I fill my tank at half, to keep the fuel pump immersed and cool. I live on a winding mountain road and this is not a problem for me, except at the track.
