As for the fuel pump stopping, it sounds like it is time to have a long serious look at the points.   MAybe a clean with a small file might do the trick otherwise replacement.

If you pull the unit apart, refer to my recent comments about re-installation of the diaphram

>I'm also a recent victim of horrible petrol fumes in boot.  Would it be worthwhile to remove my tank from car and attempt to pressure test it under water to look for bubbles?  I was carrying a small jug of petrol in boot for my lawn mower a few months back, and it tipped over, so I expected smell for a while.  But it's still terribly strong, even with all carpet and boards removed, esp. after driving.  Seems it would have aired out after three or four months (and I have been leaving boot lid open).

A couple of whacks with any nearby utensil usually starts it up again, but I'd hate to get into middle of Timbuktu and have it quit completely.  Advice on cleaning/rebuilding the unit?
