Hello everyone, anyone faced issue with starting after car parked on an incline? Happened with me a second time. First time FASS was not able to identify the problem and said everything was fine. But today again the car did not start in the evening after being on the incline for 5-6 hours. Sounds weird right?
Will appreciate your inputs.

Good afternoon,

The first thing that comes to mind is the fuel tank. There are baffles inside the tank that prevent fuel from collecting in one area of the tank.

They need to drop the tank and look inside for a loose or broken baffle.
