Hi cheers for the input, u were exactly right its been fixed a couple of days now, as it was someone had added a second filter on the fuel line because of dirt being draged through but they had placed it on a part of the fuel line wich made it sit horizontal so it was only ever half filled with fuel so every time car rose up with acceleration air was dragged in to the line shud be gettin new fuel tank to top dirt problems all solved cheers
