xe splutters at a third of a tank is this normal?

[davidfox280585]

as above shows a third full on digis obviously low as add more fuel its fixed lol

its a 1.2 spi tank with external pump:) with c20xe

[djbrowney]

its not a 1.2 spi tank if its got an external pump on it !!!

its most probaly a carbed tank !

[CoolTiger]

unless hes bi passing the spi pump :)

How would you pick fuel up?

[CoolTiger]

with a shovel

[AlexW]

If the pump is working through the spi pump than that would slighty explain i guess.

Wrong section btw

[Paul]

yeh if it has external pump its probably a carb tank, with no swirl pop, hence the fuel starvation, hence the spluttering

[davidfox280585]

probally a carb tank im definately running external pump, been built using 3 novas so sometimes i forget myself whats fitted to it lol but yes it runs but its like its down a cylinder until you put more fuel in

Yeh cause theres no swirlpot in the carb tank, the fuel pump is getting straved, change the fuel tank.

Remove the spi pump and put some fuel hose in its place

[Paul]

Nope the external pumps should be gravity fed

[MattBrown]

Thats what I always thought.

The blow, not suck.

No intensions of being rudelol

[Adam]

SHOULD be yeah. But it does work, for how long how knows....

[davidfox280585]

right checked this as its een bugging me,
its a carb tank will an spi tank sort my problem out as i am going to collect one today

[L33 LEG]

Best bet would be to get a mpi tank.

Im running a carbed tank and keep meaning to fit my gsi tank to see if it cures things.

[MattBrown]

Stupid question from me

But, just because it says 1/3rd of a tank, its not nessacerily 1/3 of a tank?

Try the spi tank, with a 1600 astra MPI pump in.

[mayhem]

spi tank with internal astra c20xe pump works.
you just have to mod the pick up pipe on the pump, as its a bit too long.

Can you explain better in detail mate just collected a tank from novalicious just need to get a mpi pump what pipe do i need to mod

[mayhem]

erm.. the pump from an astra mk3 c20xe fits in the spi tank. (internal pump).

you just need to shorten it a bit, as its too long. the part that goes in the tank has a filter, you can remove that, and shorten the pipe, you can just slide the filter back on.

dont cut it too short! best is to try small pieces and testfit.

[Adam]

The mpi pump in mine is un-modded
