85 fuel filter remplacement?

I am having problems with my T2 stalling. I think it might be the fuel pump.


I have to over rev the engine when in first gear, (now a bit more than previously), before I engage the clutch to get going.

I stall more when first starting up. More engine revving solves this.

I stalled on the highway when in fourth gear. The engine was revving relatively low and I was travelling at a moderate speed.

Restarting the engine after stalling, no real problems except a need to slightly rev more than I am used to revving!

Is it true the fuel pump is not electrical and needs the engine to power it somehow?

I am in Porto Portugal does anyone know a place to have it looked at there?

Thanks
