UPDATE- Fuel inlet sock SOlved the Starvation Problem, if you are expereinceing this same problem change the inlet sock. $13 with tax from dealer. Thanks to all who helped.

* Dies from lack of part #s *

Not sure of the part # but the dealer called it an in tank fuel filter or pre-filter. sorry i threw the bag away....

the problem is fixed, and it didnt require 3/4 of a tank. thats all im trying to get at. its about the filter not the gas level.

Cuz I went to the dealer and they tell me time and time again the part doesnt exist and I need to buy a whole new pump assembly.

They dont exactly let me climb the counter so there isnt much I can do without a part # :/

Someone mentioned buzzing during a hard corner and the alt light coming on. You sure it wasn't the oil light? Because you will get a buzz and an oil light if you corner hard and don't have enough oil in the motor.

I've heard a couple of stories about a turbo 2 and an fd both blowing engines from fuel starvation because they were both at a 1/4 tank..

It can happen...

For the S5 IN TANK FUEL FILTER

PART NUMBER: N32713ZE1

I rule, you all suck.
:-p

Should you use the Mazda filter only? I know that for some stuff you should only use Mazda parts. I guessing this isnt the case since no one has mentioned it, but I was just makaing sure.
On a side note, I was riding in a 360 Modena Challenge that ran out of gas halfway around Texas World Speed way.

I dont know of an aftermarket one.

maybe useing chevron with technron will make the filter last long

That filter in the picture has 120K on it.

Except for me, I don't suck...except for my handwriting, yup thats mine in the pic.

.... just for comparison :)

Dont bother using something to prolong the life of the filter, and dont bother looking for an aftermarket one!

It's $8.31 from Malloy Mazda, and lasts over 100,000 miles.

That particular one is for an S5. As I was driving, my pump started dying, I made it to my friend Jon's house, but it was 30 mins to get back to my house, and I didnt want to even try it on a failing pump. So I just replaced my pump with one from an FD he had lying around. So now I have this spare, clean filter, if anyone needs it ;)

(Psst, Max, your filter is prolly old . . . . ;))

You mean there is a filter under all that sludge?

Probably, it IS at least a filter-like SHAPE, yes? :)

i went to ABC auto and got it for 6 bucks part number is FS131 AIRTEK

My filter is definately old...I'm gonna have to buy a ton of replacement parts and have a Rebuild my RX party at my house.

Will Muric acid work to degunk the tank?

(f course draining the tank then sloshing muric acid around to 'etch' the tank?
