Are you sure the fuel is a factor? You say it's more when it's warm.....
Sounds like the fuel temp sensor on the pump to me
If it won't start at, or around the 100mile range, I put in a couple of gallons it runs fine again!
Where is the fuel temp sensor?
It's always electrical probs that I seem to get!!!!
I'll strip the tank pump out tomorrow and try and resolve this?

Fuse 18 OK
£114.00 +vat... ouch
Looking at another thread it's been mentioned that this pump only feeds the main pump for short periods, presumably when starting from cold?
Mine starts perfectly from cold and I don't wanna waste money, any way of checking this pump?

Thanks for the replies.
Any idea of the part number for the pump?

I have investigated the pump /float, but am at a loss as to where/what the 'pickup' is or looks like.
After removing the two pipes and unscrewing the cap, there is a large 5'' dia plastic strainer approx 8'' deep, housing the pump assy.
I tried to remove this but bottled out, thinking i'd make things worse! doh!
Is the pickup point below this?

'98 TD Elite auto saloon
Generally the car starts faultlessly from cold and drives very well, (bit of cranking needed when warm).
Problem.
The car refuses to start after the computer drops to around the 100mile range, the fuel guage reads about ¼ tank.
I have actually looked in the tank and there is fuel there!
This has not been a great problem, (other than flat batteries) as we just fill the car up before it gets too low, however the problem has suddenly got worse and now the car refuses to start with as much as half a tank.... but not always!
I have changed the fuel filter, but don't know what to do next.
Couldn't see this elsewhere on the forum and hope I'm not going over 'the same old problem'
