I cleaned and refitted the housing with silicone around the base and all over the white part/ thermostat controller bit near the fuel inlet. Left it overnight then put in another new fuel filter as the seal on yesterdays new filter seemed to have stretched. Started the car and everything seemed fine again till just under 90 degrees on the thermostat when the engine cut out. Restarted buy lumpy idle and no acceleration unless the grenade was pumped. Is there any area anyone can think of where it would only draw air when it's hot?
Next plan is to try an inline filter and see if that cures it. It's never run on veg so I don't imagine it'd be a problem not to have the heater.
I ran my old D turbo with an inline filter for 8 months with no issues. That ran on veg oil too.
