Try pushing the car vigorously back to front like you are trying to push it up a speed bump. You want to introduce a wave into the fuel tank.

This problem can occur when the contacts inside the fuel pump motor get corroded. Getting the fuel to move can just slightly turn the impeller and get the fuel pump to make solid electrical contact.

Interesting suggestion. I'll see what I can do to make the fuel move around. A wave is going to be an interesting challenge Suspension is pretty hard though I guess so will see where I can get to.

Btw. How does one check that the fuel pump is working? Sounds like you got your issue fixed. That is good to hear.
