Right of passage: my first fuel starve

Jayhovah · 04-17-2017, 06:14 PM

Tank was close to empty and I took a hard right..... Not long after I lost all power... Fuel pressure gauge shows 24psi.

Had to call my fiance to come bail me out with a gas can lol. Currently waiting.

I had Seb install a Z1 anti-fuel starvation kit when he changed out my fuel pump. I was get fuel starvation at the track during hard wot acceleration once I had burned about 5 gallon of fuel. I have done one track event since the install and I had no issues all the way down to a 1/4 tank. I decided to fill it at that point and not push my luck but I will run her down to two or three dots at the nex track weekend to see how it does.

Well home now all safe and sound... I'll probably fill up a little more often going forward =)

How many dots were lit on the fuel bar when you made the right turn?

I think 3 (maybe 2) when I made the turn... 1 when was stranded.

Don't feel bad. I had the oil starvation a couple of years ago when I went to lunch.
Didn't realize that my oil was low and ripped it around the corner. I paid a massive stupid tax because I had the car towed to the dealer and diagnosed. Could have pulled the battery cable and put in a new quart of oil.
$210 later...

Thanks for confirming, I've been wanting to pull the trigger on it but had my doubts about it.

Yup, I will wait until my next track event and do a review, but so far it is good enough for me. No fuel starvation down to a third of a tank was what I was hoping for anything more is bonus time lol!

Something that worked for me when it happened to me. Jack up the drivers rear side about as high as you can go, I did it with the scissor jack. It was enough to at least get me the mile or so to the gas station. I did make a couple of really hard left turns just to try and slosh some fuel back over.
