Fuel Temperature
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2020 6:13 pm
Hi All
For those of you who monitor fuel rail temperature, are you able to advise the following.
- does your fuel temp have any correlation to outside air temp?
- what fuel rail temp numbers do you normally see when driving on a normal day?
- does this number increase when towing?
- what is the highest number you have seen?
Reason for my questioning is I have an issue with my fuel temp getting to hot on hot days while towing (over 35degC air temp)
After a period of driving, it gets over 80degC causing the car to go in reduced power mode (drops turbo boost) with no dash faults.
I have checked everything I can think of,
Clear fuel lines,
new filter
Lines not kinked
Fuel lines plugged in the correct way
2017 Everest with 68,000kms serviced regularly at Ford.
Car runs perfect not towing and under 35degC towing.
Trying to work out what the cause may be (faulty sensor, fuel pump) or if the car just can’t handle hot days towing close to GCM.
Cheers
