[Vwdiesel] Loss of power and rough running

Plugged fuel tank vent?  You say 4-7psi is that rated pump operating
pressure, or measured when this is happening?
Sounds very much like fuel starvation.  Could also be a piece of crud in a
line, such as some grass, chaff, fuzz, etc.
I had a combine that ran like this, it was two pieces of straw in a fuel
line, that were caught at an elbow.  Took quite a while for them to joggle
around just right, then it would plug.  Take away suction, it settled down,
restart, and repeat.

Hi all! I was wondering why after 2-3 hours of driving  I seem to loose
power and it starts to run rough at idle and tries to die on me? I have put
an inline fuel pump before the fuel filter that runs 4-7 psi. Thanks for any
help/advice!
