The solution is to run at least 1/2 a tank at Barbagallo....you can get away with less at RAC since the cornering g forces aren't as high....or get an STI pump with an inbuilt mini surge pot (I had one but sold it a month or so ago)....or get an external surge pot with an additional pump....and I just happen to have one for sale!

Nauli my model has the oem in-tank swirl pot but I still reckon it was surge as it wasn't happening earlier in the night when I had more fuel on board. Just wanted to know if it was a typical spot for it to happen. Thanks mate I was shitting bricks when it happened...

Hey Jack I guess running e85 with higher demand has it's drawbacks sometimes.
Cheers.
