HI guys won't bore you with all the history but suffice it may be my new electric pump that is the reason my camper cuts out over 35-50mph whilst accelerating.
Does any one have experience of what kind of pump i should be using. My garage fit a lot to bays with no problems. As a method of elimination we tried today to see if it cuts out using the manual engine driven pump but alas couldn't get it started. The reason why i had a new electric one fitted. Think the push rod is worn?
Either way it's driving me nuts and i desperately need to sort this problem as i use the van for work as well as camping and rallys.

Any advice always greafully accepted.

PS there's no blockage, split pipes etc any where.

what psi / bar pump is it? got a pressure regulator?

the other thing that can cause this is if the in line fuel filters been crimped!!

I had that today the filter had collapsed and caused a blockage thus making me stop by passing and being a bit late for work

I'll find out re the pump and no it hasn't got a regulator. Looks like it's not getting enough fuel rather than to much? Would a regulator ensure enough gets through as well as not enough?

We thought it was a filter first time this happened though the filter looked spotless. Seemed to cure the problem replacing the filter for about 5 days. What would make it collapse?

you say no blockages but on my pierburg carb i didn,t realise there is a gauze filter just inside carb inlet from pump and on mine this was full of crud. once cleared out she is running fine <ish> again
