have read that some models have a tendancy to work the fuel pump hard and keeping at least 1/4 tank in at all time will keep it cool

Hey guys, have fitted the new pump(retaining ring was a pig to get off) only took 45 mins and a cut finger

,put some petrol init (3 quarters full) took it for a blast now runs like a dream will change fuel filter next week to make sure no more crud in the system

Glad to hear it worked out...

It'll be interesting to see what happens when you get low on fuel

but I'm sure the pump will have solved the problem.
