Vapour lock.

 

Your fuel is vapourising in the line as the pump attempts to "suck".

 

Two fixes, first try running on Premium on really hot days, secondly install a small electric pump at the Tank end and you should be right.

Hi

Thank you for the quick response.

I run all my cars on premium. However, is this problem very common. Has anyone else experienced it.
