never run your tank empty...all the crap on the bottom gets into your pipes.....I also use a fuel system cleaner every 2/3000 miles....and only fill up with brand gas...don't know if this really matters..but it makes me feel better!
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have owned my '00 996 since new and only recently have I experienced this problem of the car not starting only after I refuel at my local station. The engine will crank but I must pump the gas pedal repeatedly in order for the engine to fire up. Yes the clutch pedal is depressed fully, this has happed for the last 3 consectutive fill ups and only does this directly after refueling and no other time.

Wow, this is the first time I did not receive a response to my problem! This can only mean this situation is unique to my vehicle. If and when I find out a solution I will update this post. Thanks for all your help
Joe C.
probably something like your fuel pump check valve it's letting your pressure go low ,or it's the pump ( which i doubt ) but could also be your f/p regulator start @ the check valve & fuel filter
Sorry I didn't answer sooner but my computer line was down. I forgot to mention the most important thing about my problem, I always wait until I am under a quarter of a tank full and the reserve light comes on before refueling. Maybe water in the tank is possible after all? All other stopping and starting never fails to start and the car otherwise runs fine, a slight rough idle with the air off but with the air on its unnoticeable. Any more suggestions?
Thanks Again Joe C.

I get the starting problem only when my car is hot and the temperature is really hot outside. I would have to do what you've stated, pump the gas to get it started.
Ditto. Mine will actually turn over initally, then die immediately when it hot sometimes. Once it turns over, I blip the the throttle once or twice and thats it.
Thanks for all your replies, I refueled my car with the tank half empty, and the car started up fine no problem. I will no longer wait until the car is near an 1/8 of tank to fill up. I also started using a fuel system cleaner. All is well thanks all.
