I used to go through the windscreen before a surge tank 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95393-what-does-fuel-surge-soundfeel-like/#findComment-1691014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep, it can lean and be destroying your engine. When you feel it , its way too late.

Hence the term "Ping".

furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 7m 27d Posted 21/03/21 08:05 AM Share Posted 21/03/21 08:05 AM bumping this thread rather than making a new one - not sure whether I had fuel surge today but the comment from gaz about 'going through the windscreen' sounds similar to what I felt. About 60km range so maybe 10L in the tank, WOT in first to redline, hard shift to second, then WOT again when it cut power abruptly, and heard a chirp from the rear tyres. Traction was off. I lifted off and then got back on it for a moment and it was fine. Tune is pretty mild only 15psi / 335rwkw. Recently had an AI in-tank surge installed, would have thought that plus 10L fuel should be enough?

furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 7m 27d Posted 21/03/21 09:37 AM Share Posted 21/03/21 09:37 AM no pinging, but I don't normally run the tank this low (habit from before I had the surge module). It was pretty damn hot today too. I haven't put fuel in it so I'll give it another test tomorrow, just don't want to go damaging the engine by making it happen again.

furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 7m 27d Posted 22/03/21 10:59 AM Share Posted 22/03/21 10:59 AM got it to happen again today, ran 2nd to the top, shifted into 3rd, about half a second later it jolted twice pretty harshly. Felt like complete throttle cut. Filled up this afternoon and gave it a belt through first and second and it was fine. If I can get it to happen on a full tank I'll post again, but right now I'm thinking this expensive AI in-tank solution isn't doing its job...

Drive gently until you get it sorted. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95393-what-does-fuel-surge-soundfeel-like/#findComment-1703486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
