Eeek. I expect the pump in the tank is knackered or the fine mesh filter is clogged up. Probably need to remove the pump for inspection and testing.

Also the main fuel filter will need to be changed. I think this sounds like a job for a Bongo specialist :(.

Really bad luck mate.

Let us know roughly where you are and someone will recommend an expert.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Try Tom at Bell Hill Garage at Norton St Philip. They are Bongo experts although they tend to specialise in the diesel versions, but would probably be your best bet due to their location and as they can get any parts that may be required.
