Thanks Reinhard, that sounds like the right thing to do.

It would ave been nice to spare the fuel pump, but like you say, it is more hassle later if it reoccurs...even worsr if it fails completely.
At least now, a tap on the filter gets the car going again.

I'll order from fast lane and get it on.
