Re:Pumpless starvation stumble.... 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago

Since the incline was uphill your conversion is even better than I thought. With the pump you would have been able to put a finger on the line exiting the pump and felt it speeding up and then slowing when it caught some more gas. It'll start doing that whenever the level gets really low and the gas is surging back and forth in the tank.

The vertical fuel filter is helping a lot by allowing the air to separate from the gas as the level gets low. With the pump though I have run 15 or so miles once the light came on before having to switch to reserve. Just as an experiment though because I think it's kind of hard on the pump to be running away like that when it gets a big gulp of air.
