Hi All, When I tried to start the car this morning, it just refuse to start the engine. After a quick press on the accelerator pedal and I was able to get the engine running. Fuel was running low (warning light on) during the start. Prior to this I had another experience when the fuel was running low, the car started to jerk and a bit of power loss when the car slows down after acceleration. Could this be sign of fuel pump failure?
 
I think either your fuel sender is having problem or the vacuum jet pump is not working well.
The vacuum jet pump is suppose to 'suck" the petrol from the passenger tank and send it over to the
driver tank (right) tank where the fuel pump is located.
