Is the circle hole at the rear seat for fuel pump just like in Waja?
If that's so, the fuel pump will be one of the major problem just like in Waja - overheated fuel pump causing fuel pump failure.

Experience or hearsay?

Gen2, Persona, Satria Neo, Saga all have their fuel pumps in the same place.

Waja's fuel pump problem was the fuel pump, not where it was located. It's frequent failure was due to premature wear, crimped wiring or fuel pump relay (which is located in the dashboard) failure, not always because of overheat.

Experienced that on Waja, and from what i heard from mechanics, it is built and located there so that it is easier for changing the fuel pump. Wira, does not have this problem because the fuel pump is in the fuel tank itself. That is what I am told.
And the advise from the mechanics is to buy original fuel pump, and make sure your fuel tank is always above half tank because the fuel is cooling down the pump. The pump is not fully submerge in the fuel if the fuel level is low.
Long term of driving with fuel level below half tank will cause the fuel pump to be overheated and ended up failing.
I had also heard about the wiring problem for the fuel pump as well.

same goes to savvy..

Yes, experienced that on savvy and waja, but didnt really notice on persona as the fuel level is always below half tank

And the reason is ....?? rolleyes.gif
Only possible reason me can think of is the lower pressure in the fuel inside the tank caused by lower level of fuel left.
Fuel pump unable to function to optimum level due2 lower pressure...??
Dunno really...whistling.gif

Anyone??

maybe the pump is not powerful enough that the pressure from full tank improve the fuel flow with the pressure it has.
