H sounds like you have rust in your tank when fuel gets low a flake of rust is pulled to the fuel pickup pipe and obstructs the slot. Once you filled up the rust was dislodged and away you go.
The pick up pipe in the tank has a slot in the side to try and avoid this problem but it dose not always work

Thanks for the suggestion - I had somewhat ruled this out as the PO had the fuel tank replaced with a new one in 2013 (Got receipt).

However this does not mean that some other detritus is not floating around in there. I need to drain the tank and remove the pick up for examination and have a look round the inside of the tank with my endoscope type cmera. However am at present sorting contents of loft and garage roof in anticipation of house move.

regards
