Dirt in Fuel Tank


TNHSTI

Recommended Posts

Hey guys probably a rookie mistake on my part

 

But while changing the fuel pump on my V11 Sti some sand that was around the fuel pump area fell into the fuel tank and I can now see it settled at the bottom of the tank

 

It's not a lot maybe 2 pinches of salt amount 

 

Should I be worried about it? I have put in a new filter at the same time and car runs fine

I've got no experiance but i;d go with "she'll be rite mate'

 

if it ever picks up I bet the sock will do its job, then when you turn off, drops it etc

 

if you're really worried I'd check the fuel filter in the engine bay in a couple months maybe

On the Subaru''s I've dared lift bonnet I thought was the coke can canister Passenger side (about 2/3rds as tall?

 

Ah yeah Mine don't have one of them that I can see - @Andy_Mac do you know if the V11 Sti's have a fuel filter in the engine bay anywhere?

Nah GR/GV’s and BL/BP Legacy’s use the same cradle which has the pre pump screen on the bottom of the pump and then a cardboard filter which is part of the top half of the fuel pump cradle.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
