Error code 651B: Static Venturi fuel pump that transfers fuel from left to right side of fuel tank, i.e. where the fuel pump is. Car is dying at under 1/4 tank bc fuel cannot reach fuel pump in right side of tank & engine is being starved for fuel. Dealer says the suction jet is finished since it’s a 13 year old car & I will have to replace the entire fuel tank since the jet pump is an internal part & is not sold separately. Searching for a fix since I’m hoping it’s probably just clogged or due to a busted O-ring. Has anyone encountered this before? It won’t hurt my car as long as I keep the fuel tank above 1/4 full at all times, but I’d like to avoid any future issues without having to pay $5000 USD for a full fuel tank replacement. All advice is welcome, thanks in advance.
