djinuk 2 Posted August 13, 2007 over the past 3 weeks my 1.4 xs has been guzzling fuel but i cant work out why, ive been told i may have a small hole in my tank but the car never loses fuel stood still. When i say its using a lot of fuel i would say over double what its ever used before. could it all be down to the carb. please help as its costing me a fortune. i used almost as much as my friends 550bhp skyline the other day over the same disctance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveW 6 Posted August 13, 2007 Carb running rich maybe.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djinuk 2 Posted August 14, 2007 surely it must be really rich though to make such a impact on fuel ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted August 14, 2007 Maybe a leak in the fuel line so it only leaks when running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveW 6 Posted August 14, 2007 how does the car run in general? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djinuk 2 Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) ermm it has a flat spot when u pull off or change from 1st to 2nd apart form that though it runs really well, although looses a little when the weather is very hot. I cant actaully smell fuel (no more than usual) Edited August 14, 2007 by djinuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casanova 0 Posted August 15, 2007 I've been amazed how rich mine will run, and still run quite happily! § Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casanova 0 Posted August 17, 2007 Um, I'm always too pikey to fill it up to the top! Plus I can't actually muster a complete, working XS at the moment § Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peetypug 5 Posted August 17, 2007 if its not running any differently i'd say fuel leak check your fuel lines at the back of the head near the fuel pump thingy (thats a technical word round here before you ask ) my XS had a slight split in the line there check them all just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
