Weird fuel pump noise then engine dies!

[dmc12@xxxx]

Hi All,

I took my car on quite a good run yesterday approx 20 miles when I 
returned home I had my usuall problem of spluttering and the engine 
dying under excelleration, which I have still not figured out yet. 
But this time when I was nearly home the fuel pump started to make a 
funny loud noise and the car farted around and then the engine 
stopped. When I started the car up again it died straight away (about 
10 seconds of bad running), so I waited for the car to cool down for 
a couple of hours then started it and it ran fine, could this be a 
hot fuel line collapsing when the fule has warmed up or somthing 
along these lines?. When I had the tank out all of the pipes to the 
baffle etc looked in good conditions. 

Any ideas?

Cheers
