This has happened to tron before but I don't think the issue is fuel surge. I think its more a point of incorrect fuel pump fitment.

When fitting the pump its essential to get the sock to sit at the same height as it would on the OEM pump. There is abit of tolerance but if it ends up higher or out of position it will struggle to suck the fuel from the bottom of the tank. I spent a while fitting my walbro and its never suffered any issues even when low on fuel.

Sounds very possible mate, I'll have to check, can't remember now how it should look though!! From memory the sock that came with the walbro was smaller than the oem one that it replaced, and the pump sat at around the same height in the filter mount - I'll take it apart at some point and re-fit it, until then just have to remember to keep it fueled up!

Thanks

I bought a new sock from honda and fitted that to my 255... You shouldnt run your tank low though, when mine gets to 4 bars i fill it up.

The way mine drinks now, if I get to 4 bars, I might have enough to get to nearest petrol station.

I got 130 miles from a brimmed tank down to 1/4...... but it was miles of smiles!!

i dont think ive had the chance to do a full tank in mine. I think i will start to calculate my mpg with one of them free apps. Be interesting to know what the cars averaging now.

Mr-T

Har-vey, you wont believe what mine avg when we did all the testing and evening runs for HKS development......Got 11.67mpg on that tank.

Mine now avg 22-23 if it includes motorway sections, but tends towards 15-16mpg. when really enjoying it.

But still early days, so not able to get a good avg yet. (Only done 302miles since its been charged).

All worth it! Big smiles when driving.

I get about 220 to the tank, works out at 24ish mpg

O2 feedback is what you want for long drives a cruising, will get almost as good consumption as a car without the supercharger

Who runs without o2 feedback???
