      thanks

sorry cant spell :doh: :doh: :doh: fuel

electricbluebadger:
I would suggest you try running it with a 1/4 tank and the fuel cap open, it could well be a blocked breather and the vacuum is enough to cause fuel flow problems by the time it gets to a quarter of a tank, ever noticed a hiss when you release the cap to fill up??

Not an uncommon problem so worth checking

Cheers Steve

i have a hiss but only if i use posh fuel (too pricey for my liking, hence not often!)

agree with th above, but could be some cack down the lines....

possibly lift pump? fuller tank gives a bit more head, thus pump under less stres.....  try pointing the nose up a hill and see if it makes a difference

My rover 620 has always had a hiss when I open the fuel cap from being full to nearly empty. Would it effect MPG?
