[QUOTE="tumbleweed, post: 7029, member: 1539"] Hi people.I had an unusual incident happend to me. I had changed my fuel pump and after about 2 days later my car just died while driving. I thought it was a faulty fuel pump so I popped the back seat and took the pump out. To my surprise the tank was empty! Very strange I thought coz my trip mileage showed about 350 km when I could have gotten 500 easily before and the fuel gage needle was just a tad over the 15 liter mark. I didn't think much of it so I put back the fuel pump and filled her up at a gas station. And guess what? Full tank was only about 40 liters! What happened to the 25 liters or so for a full tank? So I concluded that the left side of the fuel tank still contained fuel.So what do you think guys? Faulty fuel pump or faulty float on the left tank? The foreman claimed it was a faulty float and changed it. He asked me "try it out" and to keep a few bottles of gas in the trunk just in case I run out of fuel again! I never had this problem before I changed the fuel pump and I think it's the pump and not the float. BTW, how does the fuel get pumped from the left tank to the right?Just thought I'd share my weird experience. Any comments? [/QUOTE]
