Try disconnecting the fuel line under the bonnet & blowing down it,if it is the problem & you are lucky it may well clear it :wink:

take the fuel pipe off the back of the fuelfilter under the chassis
and blow back down pipe to the tank then put pipe back and try again :D

hopefully it will clear any crud from microfilter in tank :D
cheers

Re: out of fuel by Rich on Fri Jul 17, 2009 4:17 pm
i had the same problem with mine when i ran out of petrol the way i got it running was to remove the fuel pipe from the injector rail and crank the engine until petrol began spitting out reconnected the pipe and away it went it was like it had air locked

Re: out of fuel by jontera on Fri Jul 17, 2009 6:22 pm
I just know that it's going to be a cheap repair.
I'm betting on it having picked up muck off the bottom of the tank. be that micro filter thing in the tank.
gives you a reason to drop the tank and give that guard a good cleaning and a lick of paint.

always sad sight to see a Fronty on recovery but at least we know that yours will be back soon.
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes
