Eric-
It turns out that there was gunk in the tank blocking fuel intake but, wait there's more, the pump was fried (probably diaphragm blew from the line being clogged). I'm going to scrap the mechanical pump, install a blanking plate and move to an electric fuel pump under rear seat. I'm then going to pull tank and send it out to be cleaned and sealed. Phew...a bit more of a project than I bargained for but the best way to go.
Thanks again for your help!
Carl
