I will check with my mechanic to have it replaced anyway

But I may not be able to do it before 2-3 weeks. I did very few km (average 500 km a month) so I just hope it can survive that period of time...

        I just fully refill the tank and I will try to ensure it is always 2/3 or 3/4 full  -  Mortem76  2017-11-01 20:04:33 (294 views)

    - So which brand do you recommend? - Mortem76 2017-11-01 20:20:33 (348 views)
      - Of those three, Bosch or VDO is still most reputable.  -  hyperlogos  2017-11-02 17:37:23 (326 views)
        
        Seems that VDO is more expensive than Bosch  -  Mortem76  2017-11-02 19:58:02 (304 views)

- Probably the fuel pump or the connection between the pump and the scavenge pumps. - JFrahm 2017-10-31 13:31:00 (346 views)
  - I'd guess the cross-tank connection. - hyperlogos 2017-10-31 14:11:56 (347 views)
  - Or maybe the relay? Have someone test the circuit when it's stalled and you are cranking. - JFrahm 2017-10-31 13:47:56 (354 views)
