<p>I could be that the pump valves may be full of dirt from the
tank. Is there a fuel filter between tank and pump?</p>

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>
