Vs loosing power on hard right handers.

[kingswood country]

Well, after running like a treat for a few months, the **** box is at it's tricks again.
I have searched and I haven't found a thread about the problem, but if there is and some one can give a link, that'd be awesome.

The problem:
Started around 400kms ago, at just under half tank, around a hard right hander, with half a pedal of accel (round about, intersection) it cuts out, looses power and just about stalls, once in a straight line it's fine, so I filled the tank, see if it still does it, I've used around 35 litres and it starts again, so just under half tank.
It's like the fuel is washing to the left of the tank and unsubmerging the fuel pump for a second or two and it's not sucking anything.

Would I be right in saying fuel pump is on it's way out again?

It's only 2 years old and very rarely below 1/4 tank.

Thank you if you can help.

I would say the pump is partially blocked and has trouble sucking up minimal fuel once its low and sloshed to one side.
take a punt and replace it, make sure all is well before re assembling such as the filters arent blocked on the pick up.
replace fuel filter whilst youre at it and see how she goes!

Straight up I thought to replace it.
These cars are driving me insane

could also be a perished return line. if this is the case and the swirl pot isnt being filled up, it will get worse the less fuel you have in the tank.

Sounds like it is the return line. I hope you have a child around to assist you to replace return line or replace tank.

Its just fuel surge. Nothing wrong with your pump, most VS's have the same problem. The swirl pot isnt big enough. Go slower round roundabouts or get a surge tank. I learned that a long time ago lol.

Yep, mine does the same under 1/3 a tank. Have checked returns and they're all sweet. I'll be putting the Walbro in soon so fingers crossed, will let you know if it helps or if the internal return is buggered.

Righto, reading this, I'm guessing this return line you speak is in the tank?

What's the trick?

If you find that the return line is still connected to the swirl pot, then check that the return line is not being kinked as the pump is refitted up to the tank. Ive seen this happen and it caused the car to stall around corners.

I'm guessing the swirl pot is also in the tank?
