Cutting Out????

<< < (2/2)

solihull-mick:
Hi i had a few customers complain of this, every time we check for this we find that in the tank there is a plastic fuel bowl that the sender sits in, this comes off its mounts and allows air to be drawn up while on an angle, we changed the tank on both motors never happened again, Hope this helps  :police:

mark-d:
most likly the sediment filter full of crap and water, my 300tdi was cutting out after roundabouts and hard braking and was that

solihull-mick:
hes talking about angles off road not braking hard, most likly what i said before  :evil:

Range Rover Blues:
Those bowls are often fitted to ensure that if you run the tank empty the 1st gallon of fuel is held around the fuel pick up as well as to prevent fuel starvation with the fuel sloshing around (even in normal driving).  If it comes loose I'd imagine it being more trouble than it's worth, the position is quite critical.

Have you tried it with a very full tank?
