Not sure how much the diesels suffer from fuel surge, but GTAs seem to suffer from it below 1/4 tank for really hard cornering.
Sandys would probaby know for diesels..
Not really sure what you mean by surge, but I have had a problem with the car on really hard right hand cornering where the car will almost stall but this was a very extreme flick on an autotest/sprint style event where you do a slalom then flick it around into a coned parking space, reverse out into another and back down the track, after parking all the warning lights/beeps came on, the car smoked out and I had no control or the engine it was barely ticking over I assumed that it was either all the oil gathering one side troubling the crank or perhaps because I was low on fuel so I just stopped doing it, I'd already proved a point and battered nearly everyone elses times
if I didn't have to sit there waiting for the car to wake up for 2-3 seconds I would have been top.
Oddly an earlier event in the day had me doing something similar but on a left hand bend and there was no trouble so maybe it was fuel pick up related?
This scenario has never been a concern on a track for me though as I've never attacked a corner so vicously, I drive a lot smoother in these cases even little tight go kart tracks like curborough weren't a problem, JTD will just run around the track all day long with no bother, I typically start with full load pressures and check where the tyre wear is after a few laps.
