Crawfie Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Before I start fiddling with my 6 , I thought I'd run this by you to see if I'm making something out of nothing !! Took the car out for a run and needed to fill up with petrol. I normally fill up every time the gauge needle is just below the half way mark. Usual fuel is Shell v nitro. I found a Morrison petrol station and my gauge was just above empty. Drove off, parked up. No problem Started her up to g home, and suddenly ...cough, splutters and hesitant to go. Revved her up and drove home. These symptoms happened once. Any ideas , was it just a glitch and carry on regardless ? Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobinTR6 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Could be some dirt drawn trought from tank, now moved ! You could check petrol filter(s). Ocassionally an injector may get an air lock that then subsequently clears, happens from time to time but not really a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Fuel in tank warmer than normal as it had run low > upon switch-off the fuel inside the pump is heated more and some vapourises in the pump > spluttering until fresh fuel displaces vapour from pump and fuel lines. ?
