>> Recently have developed what I feel is a fuel starvation problem on
>> the Bj8. Happens very seldom.
>>
>> History:
>> there is no filter inside the tank---removed years ago I have replaced
>> the in-line fuel filter that I installed after removing the sock
>> filter inside the tank.
>> the pump points were pretty worn, and I have filed the inside ones
>> down and added a new "outside: "flexible" one with fresh points on that
> side.
>> I have a back-up pump in the line
>> System has worked flawlessly for 12 years.
>> Starvation appears when outside temp is high and car temp is high.
>> when I say starvation, I mean it starts to skip and miss---does it for
>> maybe 10 sec and clears up and car runs very smoothly.
>> all lines are in good condition and there are no leaks from the fuel
>> bowl or lines.
>> fuel cap appears to be non-vented but I have used this cap for years
>> with no problems at all.
>>
>> I'm open to any advice and/or suggestions.

>> thanks
