biff 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Had my car back from the garage 2day fresh with a fixed head gasket! It was running great been a few miles in it and it seemed fine, mint infact! but, 2nite on my way home the car went lumpy and started 2 run funny i realized I had ran out of petrol (no warning petrol light!!) although I knew i was on the red and I was going 2 fill up at the next station. I filled a jerry can and put in petrol, the car didnt want 2 start at 1st and now even after running it a little while it sounds really lumpy still and im not sure its just the petrol thats the problem any ideas or advice???? please!

dubloke 4 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 may have sucked some debris from the tank bottom into the fuel filter. best never to run any fi car right out as it will pick up debris. change the fuel filter inside the offside rear wheel arch to be safe! blocked fuel lines can be a costly and hard to locate fix!
