Update
Bedded in the matadors MP44 Elite 3's they are a VERY underrated tyre cheap is not always bad I guess. If you don't want to spend loads is a good choice.
Also cleaned out my fuel pick up/level sendor (mines a complete unit not seperate ones) and found alot of black gunk in it so did a quick google and found diesel doctor FAQ's which said;
Algae are a life form found in water, similar to algae growing in an aquarium. Algae do not live in fuel and it requires sunlight to grow. For years, people have been referring to tank sludge and the jelly, slime and other contaminants found in fuel filters as “algae”. The colloquialism “diesel fuel algae” is widely used and understood. However, there is no relationship between the “algae” growing in your aquarium and the sludge “growing” (forming) in your fuel tank and showing up on your filter elements.
There are three basic areas of concern about contaminants in fuel and oil:
1. Water
2. Inorganic debris (sand, dust, rust, etc.)
3. Organic debris (fuel breakdown products and waste products of fuel deterioration and re-polymerization)
The organic debris represents more than 90% of all contaminants found in fuels and oil. It is this organic debris, the sludgy, slimy, acidic material that people refer to as “diesel fuel algae”. It could also be called a polymer, tar, wax or asphalt!
Well i cleaned it all out and now no more fuel starvation! Means it was causing a proper issue which i think was made worse by using veg which ties into the gunk i found in my pump.
Also decided never gonna FMIC want to keep it as close to stock as possible apart from a few choice bits.........tbf each has their advantages and disadvantages and for me TMIC wins but is different for each person.

Don't worry about what I'm doing, I want you to worry about what you're doing
