R32 GTR problem

[1GTR2GO]

Have any other owners of R32 GTR's experienced this problem?

Whenever I have a half a tank of petrol or less I am finding that the car will hesitate before accelerating. If driving "Camry" style then no problems but if you start to give it a bit it will take off then sort of die for a few moments before taking off again. Seems to happen worse in right hand turns. All I have to do to stop it is fill the tank up completly but as soon as it drops to a half tank the symptoms come back.

Any help appreciated!!

Fuel surge, someone has most probably replaced the fuel pump with an aftermarket one, or incorrectly reinstalled the factory one so that it dosent suck properly from the bottom of the tank.

Inspect the fuel pump, could also be getting voltage shortages but that doesnt explaint the half tank thing, so either modify pump bracket so it sits lower (correctly) in the tank or fit a surge tank.

Hope that helps.

There is actually a little area built in the fuel tank that creates a sort of swirl pot to prevent fuel surge. Sounds like its been damaged or something, and is allowing fuel to surge away from the pump pickup. You're going to have to open up the tank to find out what's going on.

I rarely do it, but I'm pretty sure I don't get any such problems even with a near empty tank.

Thanks Guys. I will have a look at the fuel pump this weekend.
