    URS6 Fuel system

    Hi,

    Has anyone got photo's or diagram or schematics of the fuel system for a URS6 on top of the tank?

    Mine still stinks of fuel around the OSR wheel arch, especially after a long run at higher speeds and wondering if this could be related to my running fault.

    Not sure what you need. Here is some info. Doesn't show the large rubber "O" ring that seals the fuel level sender to the top of the tank, via the No. 6 retaining ring:

      Item 4 is the sealing ring.

            Remind me what it was doing?

            Does the S6 have a steel or plastic tank?

              Its surging on boost. Sometimes its fine and others it lacks all its low down torque, and feels as if its timing it out! Driving it lightly you can tell if its ok or not as, when its not going to pull, it feels all heavy and lethargic even on light throttle.

              Its a steel tank on an S6

                Certainly, you need to check the cam to crank timing, could be a tooth out.

                Another potential issue is clogged catalytic converters. No flow = no go.

                  Hi, Checked the cam timing 5 times now, the last whilst fitting the new head! The fault isn't there all the time.

                  Its also on its third cat set up now

                    I have this fuel smell every time after a drive, high speed or not.
                    Keep think that a rubber hose around the fuel tank is brittle.

                    Regarding your other issue, did you check that your PCV system is tight?
                    Especially the hoses on the PRV valve? Tricky to see, but worth checking.

                      Ahh Right, mine seems really bad for the smell on cold start up too!

                      Thanks for the tip but while the head was off, everything but the metal hoses on the breather system were changed!

                        Leaking fuel tank along the seam next to the prop and rear diff. There is a heat shield infront of the area that leaks and if on the standard system it will be behind that also. My tank was like that and the symptoms sound similar only my car is diesel Quattro.

                          You think our fuel tanks are leaking?

                            The smell of petrol in my case was diesel. Weeps through the seam but not onto the ground. Spink will tell you that the metal Quattro tanks on the c4 leak at the same week point as described. Also the lines on top of the tank can also become brittle and leak.

                              I was quite sure that my S6 tank is plastic. I am also thinking that there must be some line on top of the tank that is breathing fumes.
                              Because it is hot here, I think it just evaporates more.

                              I had dry and broken breather hoses on my '81 Holden Commodore V8 in Australia.
                              Man, did it lose fuel. It was scary.
