The problem does eventually go away - after I have been driving for another
5 minutes or so, or if the car has been sitting for an hour.

It is mounted next to the transmission, onto a bracket that I welded onto
the left-side fork that holds the transmission. It should get some air
there, but it is close to the road. I passed a road temperature gauge the
other day that read 47¡C, so maybe the heat coming up off the asphalt is
causing tçt lock.
Perhaps I should re-locate the pump.
I really could not find a place under the gas tank to mount the pump - the
one on my Beetle mounted nicely up there.
I do not have any safety interlock, nor regulator. I do have a fire
extinguisher though ...

The filter screen is in good shape (bought a new one from VAG last fall).
However, I am not sure about the vent. Where should I look.
