    If you have no fuel coming through from the filter, then it is probably the
    fuel lift pump in the tank. Can you hear it whirring when you turn the
    ignition on?
    Could be the pump itself has failed, or a relay supplying it with power.

  3. See my reply to your other post. When you switch on you should be able to
    hear the pump in the tank running although it is quite quiet. Another
    possibility, although I have only experienced it with a petrol car, is that
    by getting low on fuel you sucked up muck from the tank bottom that caused a
    blockage.

    no nothing, it was fine then 5 mins later nothing, not even trying,
    checked all fuses but not going near relay, my friend said could be
    relay as pumps rarely just shut down or a blockage as it was run down.
    cheers and you know much about air locks and whether they have a
    manual primer, cheers bria

    had car in to have intank pump replaced, ran a dream for ten miles,
    then shut down.
    mechanic took car into peugeot for diagnostic (90 plus vat) for them
    to tell me its an ecu fault or a wiring problem
    they want £700 to replace ecu and it may not be that, then a further
    £4/500 to check wiring and then they cant guarantee it will run right.
    Please help at my wits end, found some 2nd hand ecu’s for £50ish but
    how do i get them programmed, manchester area and any idea how much
    thanks for your help and time
