G'day Alan
I did refer to the BN3 shop manual that I wrote myself and couldn't find
anything.
Yes the pump is in the same position and I like the idea of the header
tape and will try it on the pipes. The BN3 has twin pipes but it won't
be a problem.
I have an inline filter just before the pump so that should catch any
gunk.
Thanks
Patrick

Patrick -
I am unfamiliar with the BN3 - if you have a BN3 shop manual I suggest
you refer to it. ;-)
One thought comes to mind... it sounds to me like you are getting
intermittent vapor lock, aggravated by more engine heat and more pump
stress from going up a hill.
Is your fuel pump in the same location as on a BN1 and BN2, i.e.
directly above the exhaust pipe on on the left hand side of the car? If
so, I would suspect this is your problem.
The solution is quite easy... I had a very similar problem with my BN1
until I went out and bought some header tape and wrapped the pipe on the
length that ran under the fuel pump. This fixed the 'flutter' problem
permanently.
The other potential cause is you might have rust in your tank and it is
clogging up your filters.... use a clear VW Beetle filter so you can see
what crud is in the tank.
