The excrutiatingly slow fill seems to be part of the Syncro experience - it's come up on the list at least once since I started reading in January or so. My wife has just started driving ours (6 months after we bought it!) and noted this problem just tonight. The MSDS 911 engine conversion includes a re-routed fuel filler that Martin Schneider claims eliminates the problem as well as making room for the oil tank. Don't know if he sells the filler by itself. ed 86 Syncro 2L |
