Hmm, I'm pretty sure that I always fill it to the brim and when gas gets on the snout of the tank, I wipe it off with some paper towels lol. I always fill it up all the way. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong here. The most I got @ 3/4 tank is 150+/- That is low compared to everyone else's numbers...

 

i know for most jaguars, the sock filter is replaceable, because everytime a fuel pump goes out we replace the pump and sock as 2 different parts(the pump housing in the tank and float are actually 2 other separate parts)...im honestly not sure in other cars, but i couldnt see how it's not replaceable...it's gotta be replaceable somehow i'd think

i've never seen any fuel pumps not have a sock filter...(even with a inline filter)...unless it's an inline fuel pump...but then it'd be pointless to have a sock filter as the pump is not in the tank...
i know my dad's car actually has 3 different fuel filters...the pump sock, a regular inline filter and at the connection from the fuel pump to the fuel line leaving the tank, theres what they call a cone filter(a little mesh cone inside the fuel line)...only the inline filter is considered serviceable tho..

i don't really know how,since there's a pump sock, but it can sill pass stuff thru the fuel pump to the inline filter
and if it's time to replace the inline filter, it always has all sorts of gunk and debris in it...it looks like runny mud if it's way overdue(if u've never seen it, it's not a pleasant sight)

 

UPDATE: I cleared the P0441 code again yesterday, around 4:00 PM, and it hasn't come on since. Hopefully it never comes back on but if it does, what should I do? Does it need attention right away? Would it cause any mechanical issues later on? Basically what I'm trying to get at is would I need to get it fixed now or is it a minor issue? I really hope this isn't a problem that might lead to any mechanical/electrical failure in the future

 

it shouldnt cause any issues except maybe make you go through more gas...and thats only maybe...you should be fine...the worst thing that can happen is it'll throw off your AFR but only slightly
if you're required to go through inspection every so often you may not pass(dont know if canada req's it or not..i know most US states do...mine's not one of them tho)

 

yeah we're in southern ontario, drive clean is required every 2 years...

 

yeah..i gotta take her in for an emission test next year..hmm..let's see if it comes on again..if it does, i'm taking her to my mech and see if he can hook me up with some smoke testing for leaks..

@crans: bro! when are you coming back? you gotta see the snow here man! it's all melting now and turning roads into ice lol..how's your stay there @ SC so far?

@nekkidlad: thanks for all the quick responses man! you've been such a big help! lemme know when you decide to come down to Toronto..i'll show you around! and we can drive over to Trenton to see/bother Garrett LOL

 

end of march i'll be back in Canada...and south carolina is beautiful...

Geres, you're car should be due this year, even year numbers get tested on odd years...

 

uh-oh..i didn't know that..would i get a notice from the government for an emission testing? i haven't gotten one yet but i'm sure i'll be getting one this year if even numbers are due this year

 

@Garrett: oh man..how i wish i was there right now..winter is killing us here..i know it comes every year but i hope it ends soon..

i really wanna work on my RA but have no space in my garage whatsoever..can't wait until it all warms up..

btw are you there by yourself or are you on vacation with your fam? this whole time i've been thinking you were sent there for work or something lol..but idk maybe/maybe not haha! see you soon man!

 

no prob man
speaking of going to toronto...lol
i may be going for work training soon to missisauga...(in a month or 2...unles they send me to new jersey or georgia instead)
i went last year (i think around november)..
but i got a free rental car and gas through work...(instead of my car)...
training was thursday and friday, so i took my wife with me and we spent friday night, saturday and sunday morning in toronto...then drove back to detroit sunday afternoon...

if it wasn't a 5+ hr drive, i'd go just for the heck of it...lol

maybe this time i'll take the RA and then spend all sunday driving around piling on the miles on the rental...lol

 

i am here for work, just me and 3 other co-workers, me and my room mate rented a 2013 V6 mustang, compliments of DND. that was the best we could get, our allowance doesn't cover "premium" vehicles, i.e. V8 sports cars, and luxury sedans...

nekkidlad, come for a track day this summer, BBQ at my place...

 

ill see what i can do about going over in summer..
im sure my wife wont be happy about it...lol
sounds like itd be a good time...road trip, bbq. some track time...and my trans/clutch should be done by then...

 

good way to test if there's anything left...i have my old stock clutch still if something goes boom...

 

@Garrett: wow thats crazy! how does it drive? ive driven the 2012 boss 302 mustang and its a BEAST but i didnt drive it like how you drove your RA so idk how beastly that car couldve gotten if you were the one driving LOL

btw im thinking of joining the Canadian Forces and getting a position somewhere in their IT division..ive been reading a bit about the requirements and its always been in me (since i was 15) to join up..what do you think, Garrett?

@nekkidlad: bro you gotta come down! its gonna be my first time joining them this summer and im positive that youll have a blast! i cant wait

 

LOL i think mine will go boom before his since my RA isnt even close to being track-ready still got lots of work to do but i think thats a good thing as i love my RA! i would work on my RA all day all night if i knew everything that i was doing..soon ill be able to do a few minor fixes here and there..then ill move up to tackling major issues someday i know i say this all the time but i really learned a lot about cars in general just by chatting it up here in EvoM
