My 1990 Ninety-Eight will "die" during a sharp turn if the tank is 1/4 (quarter) or less full.
It will recover within a few seconds after straightening out car. But depending on traffic and logistics it can be a safety concern I guess.
I have read somewhere on-line that others have complained about same occurance.
I am assuming there is a baffle (or several) in the tank. One Olds man told me he thought there was a Baffle Box into which the pickup tube went inside the tank.
I am wondering if this occurance was the norm from the showroom floor, or if it is a symptom only after years and time elapse.
And does this happen on anything other than the "C" bodies?
In other words do any of yall know if the baffles collapse or corrode away which causes this?
or is there some other explanation?
Any known cure? (other than keeping the tank more than 1/4 full
?
Thanks
