I wouldn't get much more than 320km out of my tank..but i never drive gentiel :P

Could just be your float in the tank "sticking" or could be related back to that fuel smell you're smelling?? Or either that or the timing has gone way out for some reason and its just chewing and chewing the petronas.

btw: still haven't seen any form of digital fuel guage around.. If you need another one you'll have to get a replacement mechanical one and wire it up to where your old one was.

ur right

but its not as bad in other cars

and when fuel gets pumped into the engine

is there excess fuel that gets pumped back into the tank

or does it all jus burn in the engine

no the unburnt fuelgoes out the exhaust with the burnt fuel, that's why we have cat converters and if ya take them off ya get flames when ya decelerate (unburnt fuel igniting on the hot exhaust tip)

and also poppping when ya decelerate is healthy, shows the car has been tuned well coz its running perfectly with itsratios :)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
