Fuel Surge Kit
In an effort to solve fuel surge issues to remove one of the standard Subaru excuses, I set about to solve this issue with the help of the Fuel Surge Kit from Hyperflow / MRT Rally.
Despite doubts by others as to whether I could actually install this myself (having seen my oil changing prowess first hand
) I thought I would give it a go ... after all, how hard could it be
First job was to remove the rears seats - this makes access to the pump alot easier than hanging upside down in the boot.
Next was to remove the access cover and expose the pump top and connections.
This was all too easy apart from the main fuel pipe that had decided that it didnt want to move :x Anyway, a bit of wiggling, jiggling and general fiddling later it was off and time to get the pump assembly out - this was tricky as you have to twist it gently and take care with the float assembly.
Once out it was time to fit the new box around the pick up and drill two holes for the bracket to hold it. Once I had found an appropriately sharp drill bit this was re-assembled and time to install back in the car.
This was harder than the extraction as there was a box on the end but eventually in it went and time to connect all the hoses and put the back seats in.
Question is ... had I broken anything?
nope - fired up first time and kept on running
I might make a mechanic yet 8)

Hope it sorts the fuel surge problems, have you had a chance to test it yet?
