    Wink Fuel Starving

    Hi everyone

    So I just installed a in car fuel pressure gauge and upgrade my fuel pump to aem 340.

    I made sure that i dropped the fuel assembly as far as the original one. The new pre-filter sits at the same location as it was originaly.

    Every thing is good for about 100KM (20L) after a fill up.

    after that if i launch the car hard the pump starves of fuel , i see a drop in fuel pressure and car misfires

    So i am good for the first 20L only the next 40 are hell to drive.

    there is an additional line that uses the main flow to lift fuel across the hump in the tank from the other side, you likely have an issue with this system from the sounds of it. There was another thread on this not so long ago.
