worth a thought
        well on several vw ive had heres what ive done with fuel problems
start at the engine first check all your lines you may have a seep somewhere
that is lowering your pressure or if it is before a pump the pumps will suck
air rather than fuel as its easyier!
       work your way to the tank take it steady check all vents emmision
control stuff this must all be intact the tank must be able to breath easy
or it will vaccume and thats not good .
       fix the overflow!
       take the sender out of the tank top. with a 3m length of clear waher
hose tapped to the end of a wooden rod and a flashlight go into the tank you
will see the water and debbris at the bottom suck it up with the tube! dont
suck to far or youll fill your mouth mmmmm tasty! squirt crud into empty
coffe jar .
       not for the faint hearted but it will rid you of a lot of stuff in
there all dependig how much time you want to spend and at the end of the day
at least youve had a look at whats in there if nothing then you can
eliminate it from your list of possibilities!
      return the sender to the tank and away you go give it a good run to
clear the lines and fit new filters. be prepared to fit new filters again
soon too.
     fix the overflow!!!
     another solution to this is to fit an early under bonnet filling type
tank !!!!!!!  (sorry this is not as simple as it sounds)
