Subject:      Fuel problem...still...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1


Hi List,
A couple weeks ago I posted a fuel starvation problem
which occurred only when I was going down hill with my
85 Westy/Subaru. Fuel pump was pumping OK; fuel tank
was 1/4 full. As someone suggested, I filled tank and
problem went away but it reoccures if the tank gets
much below a half.


Am I the only one having such a problem? The fuel
connection is on the rear of the tank but it certainly
seems it should still feed the fuel line on a downhill
incline with six or seven gallons of fuel remaining in
the tank.... has anyone ever remounted the tank so it
slants downward to the rear? Is there something inside
the tank that could cause it to not feed when going
downhill?


Any help appreciated. We live in the mountains 12
miles from town and it is a pain to only have the top
half of the tank useable!!
Thanks...
