Hi guys,

This vehicle will cut out and wont restart only happens when fuel gauge reaches approx half full , High pressure pump is good low pressure pump good no leaks in any plastic hoses. Discorverd drivers side of saddle tank empty but passenger side of saddle tank so full its spilling out. checked that fuel is returning from engine to driver side but only above 2000rpm. at idle nothing coming back into driver side. I removed both level senders complete with connecting hoses and can see nothing wrong. Found a post on this site where someone has had exctly the same problem but did not post cure I suspect that the problem is within these two level sensors but can not work out what the problem is or why. I dont wont to buy level senders unless Iam absolutely sure. they are over £400.00, and can only be bought together. any Ideas would be greatly appreciated
