check fuel filters i say you pickup water from tank add a bottle of Methylated Spirits to the tank or remove and clean try metho first you will need to change fuel filter

If the car was running like trash, check the plugs for fouling. Has been the case with some of my cars.

Sounds a tad strange........Every car i've ever owned has had a fuel filter... They are possibly right, BUT, ford has tried to sell me 6 flywheel bolts in the past, at $13 each........flywheel only has 6 holes

hi, i've had this problem with my 86 update xf before. on the weber carby just under the fuel inlet at the front there is a brass bolt 19mm,remove this and there is a gauze filter there, it may be full of dirt (like mine was). i cleaned mine out and it ran a fair bit better. also on another xf ive had to take out the idle mixture screw on the passenger side of the carby (inline with the shocker tower) and put a rag underneath to catch any fuel and turn the motor over a couple of times to flush any crap out there,its probably worthwhile disconnecting the + on the coil to minimise the chance of sparks. i put a ryco plastic fuel filter in before the fuel pump and its been running sweet ever since. goodluck

Just chucking in my two cents worth.
I've had a few XF falcons come in to work. Running like s**t. turns out you pull the dipstick out and they run like s**t. fine when the dipstick is put back in. They can run like s**t if there is any form of major oil leak. thought you might wanna know.
