The area over the axle is like a box and the exhaust heat accumulates in that area so with methanol laced fuel it probably gets hot enough to boil the fuel causing the classic "vapour lock". <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:small">Move to Canada where it is nice and cool so you won't have such issues :-)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:small">M<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jan 10, 2021 at 4:40 PM Michael MacLean <<a href="mailto:rrengineer.mike@att.net" target="_blank">rrengineer.mike@att.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif;font-size:16px"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span> Not a Healey, but my 69 MGB GT is related in operation. I went to In N Out for lunch today in my MG. The line was very long so I had to
inch forward and was stopped numerous times for a few minutes in
between. The fuel pump started pumping furiously like I was
running out of gas while stopped halfway through the line. The car was
still running. I got up to the first window to pay and the idle
dropped to less than 500 rpm. In a minute or so later the engine just
quit. There is over a half tank of gas in the car. I tried starting it
several times, but it would just fire and die. After several attempts
the car started again, all the while the fuel pump was going like mad.
After getting out of the line the fuel pump slowed down like normal and
you did not hear it after what I assume was a full float bowl. No
issues going home the 4 or 5 miles. Does that sound like my fuel pump
is going out or the tank pickup is clogged? It has been doing this "empty tank like" pumping fast for a while, but the car has run normal up to now.<br></span></div><span>Mike MacLean</span></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
