THIS IS ON MICHELLES HYUNDAI COUPE BY THE WAY

 

 

ok when i put a full tank of fuel in the car kangaroo hopps and it sometimes cuts out when coming to halt. if i wait till i use some fuel its fine.

Also if i leave fuel cap off it doesnt do it. when i take it off i get a masive hiss as if its releasing pressure.

 

Also the fuel guage only works when the petrol cap is off

sounds like a blocked vent pipe to the tank!

bloody hell that was fast Gaz lol. where would that be then on top

Or...... the vent in the fuel cap is blocked

there will be an overflow near or close to the filler neck. check and see if its clear. i'm not 100% but get under and check all the hoses.

good point!

well i checked fuel cap and i didnt even know there is suposed to be vent, i couldnt see one

come on :headvswal

did you try what i suggested on the phone earlier ?

thats how i found the problem mate. just wondering where the breather/overflow is. have you checked the thread of 5k to spend. may be worth you pm ing him as i recomended you for re-build etc

If you over fill the car then fuel usually poors out on the floor via the overflow.

 

Just a thought that next time you fill it right up try and go that little bit more and if it is not blocked then the fuel should come through.

 

This will at least eliminate that as the problem. Nake sure however not to go too far as it will just be pooring out the filler.
