[QUOTE=munya;807664]I used to get radom surge at 1/2 tank in my Wrx and almost guaranteed at 1/4 tank when out doing the rally sprints or a few laps around Collie motorplex track. Fixed this buy running surge tand and additional 044 external fuel pum. In saying this though this may not be you problem best to take car to workshop of your choice for a look over.[/QUOTE]


Yeah,I've considered a surge tank. I'd like to do a bit of track time in it eventually, so it'd be good to get this sorted. Will have a chat to Maximum Motorsport soon and get stuck in. Thanks for the help guys [emoji106]

could be as simple as incorrect fuel sock used for the install of the walbro pump, alot of the fakers come with socks that sit on the wrong angle & will cause the issue you described

Ah ok, different sizes, etc? Something for me to check. Cheers Strubaru.

yeah some of the fitting kits come with a skinny rectangular shaped sock, others have a square sock that is angled better to sit on the bottom of the tank, this is the one you wont have surge problems with
