Still trying to help friend that has 85 westy. The van does sit for periods of time. It will run and drive fine but periodically it just looses power and he has to pull over and feather gas till it gets going again. I have not checked fuel pressure yet but plan to. He told me that his fuel pump whines, (I am not sure if this is constant or periodically), and from my previous post it was suggested that it is a fuel delivery problem. The pump, filter, and relays have been replaced. I am wondering where the screen is located and if it is accessible without dropping the tank? Is it internal or external? By the way the van sits inside, does not get driven in rain or snow, but I am not sure if he stores it with a full tank of gas. Thanks, Alan H.
