I have just had the "new" fuel tank installed on the recall and now I have a question. I was looking in the fuel tank (almost empty, only about an inch of fuel) and noticed that when the engine is running there appears to be alot of fuel flowing down on the inside of tank coming from the area where fuel line exits the tank on the inside. You have to use a flash light to see this.

I have never actually done this before, but it doesn't look right. It looks like a water fall inside the tanks causing quite a bit of splashing.

I am wondering if A) has the dealer installed the tank properly?
B) Is this simply normal and I have just never noticed it before with little
fuel in the tank.
C) I have just installed an inline fuel reducer. Could the increased fuel back
pressure from the reducer cause this effect. No gas is leaking anywhere.

If anyone wth a Firecat or Sabercat could look at their tank and see if this is happening to theirs it would be greatly apprecicated.

Thanks

Is the sled EFI?
It may simply be the fuel return

Yes the sled is a EFI. So there is a fuel return, thats the type of answer I was looking for. I just have never noticed it before.

yes thats normal

Yup, when ever the engine is running, the electric fuel pump runs and produces flow.
What ever the injectors don't use gets returned to the tank by the fuel pressure regulator.
Fuel is always circulating in these systems.
:D
