Just taken my camper to have it's MOT. Driving along it did a couple of strange things. When pulling away from a roundabout it felt like the clutch was slipping but without the revs. I filled it up with some fuel as I noticed it was low but the fuel gauge didn't register it. Got to the mot and parked it up. They gave it a clean and now it won't start.
Possible fuel pump failure? Any ideas

Fuel filter blocked? If fuel was very low, gunk may well have done this. Was this a sudden problem or have you had symptoms before? When was the last time you drove it?
Could also be a distributor problem.

What's it doing when you try to start it, noises, lights, is their fuel in your filter. You say they gave it a clean, what did they clean? The engine, the outside or did you mean clean bill of health.
Did the cover the dizzy when / if they cleaned the engine? I'm afraid there's not really much to go on and a bit more info might be of help

Replaced fuel pump and everything is good. Swept through mot with only the windscreen wipers needing changing.
