I'm getting back into this after taking a wheel bearing detour on another car.
I got the OBC codes as follows...
Code 6.0 242006
Code 6.1 0249

The gas gauge reads about 1/4 tank.
Does the 006 in code 6.0 mean I'm running out of fuel?
I think the left side has 24.2 liters and the right side has .6 liters
I've been keeping it filled to over 1/2 tank until now.

Search for that infamous thread on siphon pump O-ring.

The siphon pump O-ring is getting changed out this weekend.
I'm interested to know if I'm interpreting/diagnosing the code 6 numbers correctly.

You are reading menu 6 correctly and when right side gets below 1 liter means the siphon jet is not working.

Once you fix the o-ring, verify operation by watching the test six values and drive down to single digits of distance to empty. The right side will stabilize about 1.4L.

Put a zip tie in the right place to prevent reoccurrence.

Thanks. I will be the guy weaving radically back and forth in the parking lot trying to slosh some more fuel over the hump in the tank so I can make it to the gas station on my way home.

And what is your plan "B" if the siphon jet isn't the problem?

Replace the syphon jet pump assembly after I check the transfer hose(s). The fuel pump is new and as long as the car has more than 1/4 tank of fuel, it goes anywhere. I took a 900 mile trip with it in this condition in the last couple weeks with no problem.

99% chance the o-ring on the jet pump has failed. How many miles? Every one I've seen over 130,000 has this failure it's a design flaw.

The 1% options: FPR somehow not letting enough volume back to the tank to run the siphon, the siphon foot is plugged so not working or the pressure relief valve is defective.

There are two seals on the siphon jet assembly. One has an o-ring the other has no conformal seal at all and will most likely also be leaking. I use Teflon tape to re-work that seal. The first one I did I added an o-ring groove for an actual o-ring. Not needed. Just 4-8 wraps of good Teflon. I used a digital calipers to determine how much to use. Went from being 0.2mm smaller to about 0.2mm bigger (inside vs outside seal) much easier than adding an o-ring.

I'll report back after I take out the transfer pump side.
Any good suggestions on how to effectively depress the little plastic tabs that are in the little square holes on the siphon pump so I can get it apart to check the O ring without cracking the plastic components?
Thanks for the experienced input.
