Today i had to replace a lightbulb in my mothers citroen c3. It took me more time than taking the engine out of the 2cv....stupid modern cars.... |

The 57 started cutting out on accelleration, so the tank must be almost empty. So drove of the road and put 5 liters in. It started but then the idle was gone. I think the almost empty tank drew rubbish in to the carb. So i took the idle jet out to clean it. Than vroom, all start working again. |

I don't understand why dirt will only get pulled up from tank when the level is low? |

Considering that the fuel pickup tube is almost at the bottom of the tank, I'd reckon it's an old wives' tale... Or maybe it's a hangover from motorcycling days, when the 'reserve' tap was fed from a tube sited lower in the bike's tank than the normal inlet?

I would agree Ken. The only difference I can think of, is the fuel may move around more as the level drops, and lift sediment. Anyways, AZL, glad you sorted it. |

Although nothing that an in-line paper element filter won't catch? Roger V wrote: I would agree Ken. The only difference I can think of, is the fuel may move around more as the level drops, and lift sediment. Anyways, AZL, glad you sorted it. |

Why do I have to clean my carburetor every 5 or 6 months or so? There is always some sediment in it, every time I open it. Despite an extra filter in the fuel line. |

A metal tank I would guess. Rust from the tank I suspect. Particles to small for the filter to stop. Does the filter look like its capturing anything when you clean your carburetor? |
