    right, so the senders are tabbed to a 20cm plate that i can use to peak into the tank? cool. I assume the fuel pump (ours are in-tank right?) can be viewed if the tank is dry enough too.

    The senders and pumps come out with the ~20cm plate IIRC.

    Let me confirm...
    Nothing to see here...

    Tank was empty again today (definitely had to be close to empty, as I had travelled 450~ kms on about 40L - could not have been more) and so i pulled in to fill up at a seldom-used servo on my way home. Ended up taking 60~L without stopping, she was thirsty.

    So, this is either an intermittent blockage of whatever transfer mechanism there is between the saddle fuel tanks on the Bora, or it is a dodgy filler neck, or a problem with the bowser i use frequently.

    Next tank i will fill from a completely different servo to isolate the pump issue. Not exactly scientific but i guess the experiment continues.

    I was having a similar issue. Certain Servos will cause it to cut out and require you to fill at half the speed. Others are fine. I found BP Have been fine which is good as thats who i always buy fuel with anyway.
