I changed my tank because it was leaking (rusted)
I had another old tank and moved everything over...

Now I got the oppesit problem as before...
Before I could only tank 37 liters before it was leaking...

Now I have to have more than 37 liters in it ..
The little tank inside the tank is not filled up automaticly

When the fuelline Lower that 37 liters the car dies because of no fuel

Then I make 2-3 right left turns and the fuel splashes into the little tank and the car runs again...
Please if you know whats wrong tell me,, havent found a picture of how the tank are made..

I would think there should be little holes or gaps in the bottom of the sides of the little tank so that gas can get in there. The little tank is there to keep gas around the fuel pick-up under cornering, so that the engine doesn't starve while maneuvering.

Pull it out and have the tank fixed. I need to do the same thing. I run out of fuel at 15L or so(1/4 tank).
