<<Mick -

Sounds like when you sealed the tank you plugged up the pickup.>>

ABSOLUTLY!!!

<<You should never see the fuel filter run dry.  It should be full of fuel
all
the time, with only a small bubble for air.  Your car is being starved for
fuel.>>

True.

<<You also possibly may be getting vapor lock (despite my better
judgement),>>

Nope.  You were correct earlier, Alan.<G>

<<try wrapping the exhaust pipes under the fuel pump with header tape... this
can make a big difference.>>

Do NOT do that unless you wish to see you pipes rust from inside out before
you very eyes!!!
