Hello all. First small problem with the new Tamora. Hopefully some of you may have experienced this or can suggest a possible cause.
The car is losing all power on a long left hand bend. I'm assuming it is a fuelling issue.
I could be totally wrong but it seems that the fuel in the tank is being thrown to the right of the tank and for some reason there is not enough getting to the engine under acceleration.
Only had the car for a few weeks and I didn't notice it until a few days ago. I don't think it happens when the tank is full.
Took the two access panels off the top of the tank last night and had a nose around but couldn't see anything that looked out of place.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm going to be on a small circularish track tomorrow and if we're going anti-clockwise I'm not going to get very far.

Thanks, Barry.

Sagaris can be prone to this on clockwise circuits with below 16-18litres of fuel

No issues now after filling with baffle foam.

I had a bit of a concern yesterday too. Went around a small roundabout about four times whilst I decided which turning to take and a 4L low fuel warning came up. There was at least 20 in the tank.irked

I think it can be slightly erratic when at lower levels
