V6 engine shutdown with fuel in the tank
Hello gentlemen, today I was cleaning the 75 and I let it run in slow motion, and after 15 minutes it stalled.
I tried to restart and it did not start. However,I had 16 liter left in the tank (ipk test). I added 10 liters and it started. I then went to refuel ( 38 liters more or 48 liters plus 16 liters remaining). However, the ipk tells me only 57 litres in the tank (test ipk 6). What do you think? It’s scary because it stalled on the highway last week with 11 litres of fuel. Yet I hear my pump running. Thanks for your help, I’m lost. |

Fuel filter separation?
Famous Orange Clip.

Could be filter separation as Thunderbolt has said.
The last time I purchased what used to be the 'Orange' clip, it is now White. I've known a self-tapping screw to used by some with success. I've had customers cars cut out/breakdown with the fuel gauge showing around 1/4 tank on the gauge & a reading on the IPK but, on doing a battery reset (disconnect & reconnect after an hour), the fuel gauge dropped to empty! Both were petrol & both hadn't been driven for 7-10 days. Just to prove a point, I wonder if it is worth doing a battery reset just to see if it gives you a different reading. The last time I purchased what used to be the 'Orange' clip, it is now White. |

Brahim's profile indicates his v6 was registered in 2000, so it's unlikely to suffer from FFS (Fuel Filter Syndrome). I suppose there might be exceptions, so a simple glance at the filter module will tell.

Two simultaneous threads
Brahim,
Your question is a repeat of that which you posted in your long running thread on this subject: Brahim's main thread. Two threads on the same subject don't make it easy for members to help you. I recommend that you stick to your main thread which contains all the background information necessary for useful replies. I have posted my recommended course of action for you there. Simon
