jxavierf Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 For over a year know since I bought my subi, I've been struggling with problems. I've changed the alt, disty, carb, vac. hoses, made alot of adjustments, time and money....only to discover that the root to all my problems has been two things: sludge in the gas tank (clogged fuel fitlers), and too much air in the fuel/air mixture.......all this leading to fuel starvation to my car which has caused rough idle, disty/rmps "skipping", poor gas milage, and frustration. Alas, she's running well, though I still need to clean out the fuel tank.....not sure of the best way to accomplish this, apart from constantly changing my 2 fuel fitlers. Anyone got suggestions?

GLCraig Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 if the problem is with the 84 that you have listed in your sigiture, there is a drain plug in the bottom of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
