Likely my fuel pump has expired or the pump fowled by something, just wondered if anyone has experienced such a problem.

It's in the tank itself

Capa/LSV setup usually run 2 pumps,std in tank and a T-Rex outside to come on with boost.Dont know if yours is this setup Will. If no run at all then the std pump in tank would be at fault.Quite easy to remove tank and replace pump as a complete module or individual pump.
Silly question maybe but have you checked fuel filter.

Well Brian, my AFR's have become inverted, car 100% to 3,000 RPM then it all goes tits up to use a nautical term, Mark thinks that the fuel pump has become blocked or stopped working, the Bosch M/sport one is active ok. Possibly the tank liner has come away, some sort of j cloth afair which has happended twice with Mark on other peoples cars, anyways I'll let him sort it out & dyno it before I get it back.
Thanks for the input, hows the "project" going?

Try shoe horning the above link, 12.9 litres should do it!

What fuel setup are you using ?

What in-tank pump ?

And by sounds of things you are also using an in-line pump too ?

Does your fuel system have a return line and FPR up front ?

A std in-tank pump wuld not be able to keep up with an 044.

A single 044 installed in-tank would support the amount of power you are making, without resorting to using 2 pumps.

Stevieturbo, as I have said before I am not that technical, all I know is the standard pump in the tank is the suspect unit, the secondary pump is a Bosch M/sport one. Pressure ratings correct but maybe not the flow, the injectors are at 105% capacity at 3,000 revs. And it is still a non-return fuel set up.

Thanks for you input though
