Just recently I installed a new in tank fuel pump, along w/ a motor swap and turbo setup. At half tank my car started sputtering and I ran out of gas. I filled it up and it ran fine, when I got to half tank the same thing happened again today. When the fuel gets low I can hear the fuel sloshing around when I go around corners as well. Any input???

 

Nothing is wrong with the gauge either. It took ten dollars worth of gas to fill a half tank today w/premium.

 

did you install the pickup correctly????? ps if your pump tried pumping and there was no gas it might be cooked.

 

Well it runs fine now that I've filled it up w/gas so I doubt it's been cooked. Where exactly is the pickup??

 

well i mean maybe it didnt reach down past halfway, the pickup is basically the intake part of the pump, I was led to believe it wasnt submerged in gas tank all the way.

 

Walbro? Ive read some ppl have had problems with the walbro and low fuel but I dont with mine.

 

you probaly got the 255 lph walbro pump. my cousins died just under half a tank. keep it full.

 

WTF??? It is a walboro and I take some long drives so I can't use only half a tank. Anyone have walboro's phone number??

 

ive never heard of that before, i have ran mine empty many many many times and no probs.

 

i have a walboro and have no issues

i run mine bone dry

sounds like you got a bad pump

platinum.

 

It sounds like you attached it upside down, actually. I've installed two or three of them personally and none of them has ever experienced any kind of problem.

If it was upside down, obviously, your tank would stop supplying gas to the pickup much sooner than "empty".

 

Check to see if the pickup didnt fall off...

 

Figured it out. The pickup that comes w/ the wahlboro is too small and sticks up at an odd angle so that it isn't fully submerged. Put the stock pickup on it and it works fine.
