Help Me -before I go mad

[Karl]

I found you -you little #%#%# !

Update form my last post I drained the tank and found some thin membranous stuff in it ? POR 15 tank lining or perhaps vanish -I fiqured it might be blocking the intake in the tank causing intermittent starvation-Before pulling the tank and cleaning it -I by-passed the tank and fuel line and applied a line direct to the fuel pump and ran it into a can of clean gas inside the car - Still missed !

My neighbour has always suspected the spark plug leads so i changed those out yesterday and went for a test run today. Still missing and fact missed to the point were it wouldn't keep going . Luckily occurred on a straight stretch of road so before it died i pushed the clutch in and turned the ignition off and coasted into the side of the road. (I wasn't worried about steering lock as I was going slow and didn't need to turn the wheel ) . Looking under the hood and there you are an air fluid level in the fuel pump bowl. Its sucking air at the fuel pump bowl -Just as one of the early posters suggested on here !- So next weekends job is to fix that -One of the few non original parts i have on my car is the fuel pump with a bowl - Given the varnish in the gas I might stick with it for now -Karl
