So driving along yesterday got 10 miles from home all family heading out for the day and engine malfunction service now, luckily I was heading into a village as it’s a really busy road, I turned into a church car park where it stopped the engine,
Said on the dash engine need started manually but it was just turning over but not firing so to speak,
I had previously broke down 3 days prior same sort of style on motorway and Rac said I had ran out of fuel even though 86 miles to empty and fuel light had just gone on few mile back,
Rac put 11 litres in and said I should fill the tank, I stuffed it full £85,
yesterday it was like the same problem but I know there’s loads of fuel in it, it did start a few times but instantly stopped running, while waiting on Rac again 30 odd minutes later I tried it again and it started and run fine, i drove it home and we took the car,
I’m thinking it’s fuel related so I have ordered a Lucas lift pump and sender unit and a new Ford fuel filter,
There’s no stored codes so I’m clutching at straws
On another note if I had ran out first time Rac put 11 litres in and I did £85 completely full which was around 62 litres that’s a total in the tanks added 73 litres
Sure the tourneo (2014) has 80 litre tank which would mean I didn’t run out of fuel first time round although everything points towards that,
Anyone had similar problems that can steer me in the right direction
