Slightly off-topic, but since it's gotten hot (mid-80s), my Sunbeam Tiger's
fuel pump will start clicking much faster and much louder when I'm at a stop
light or stop-and-go traffic. The Tiger is notorious for excess heat at the
fuel pump, given that it sits about ten inches above one of the mufflers.
Just out of curiousity, why would heat correlate to sucking more junk out of
the fuel tank?

Don---does the fuel pump start pumping fast the hotter it gets? If
so-wonder if you have trash in the tank that is getting sucked into the
pick up line. In the BJ8--at least, there is a sock filter over the line
inside the tank. I can get clogged up.
