Sywell Classic: Pistons & Props - 25/26 September 2021

What's the crack? Should we still be aiming for 8am? It's a 90min drive so I'd rather not be any earlier than I have to be!

Arrived at 9:20 ish and the show was already pretty full with a long queue. The organisers essentially readjusted the stand on the fly to account for no-shows, so earlier is better.
 
Just got here - lots of fuel available up the A43 and at services this morning

Sucks for those who weren't able to get any. What a mess!

Losing power and black smoke coming from exhaust so thinking overfueling so maybe fuel pressure regulator,temperature sensor or connections not really sure Had a new fuel pump fitted Friday all working fine as I’ve fitted an inline pressure gauge .any advice welcome,
 
Excellent, I'm glad it worked out for the brave souls that ventured out during fuel armageddon.
Is there petrol again now?

it is strange the R32 gets petrol no issues on the way back I went past tesco's at 6:30pm filled up and they closed it when left, on the way up to Sywell a Shell was open and they joked I would empty the place in the GTR. Tesco still closed today and the other car is empty so I will be siphoning fuel out of the GTR...

So I think is random.. they normally fill up the garages in the morning so 7am is likely a good time to go

what’s the pressure reading Derrick. Over fuelling can be the AFM. If it hasn’t been running for a while have you checked the flap in the AFM hasn’t got stiff? Need to know a bit more to be honest.

Book value says 36psi or there abouts. Pressure should bleed away but not drop to zero. I’ll be sending that regulator this week. Not sure that’s your problem tho.
