Milton,

Welcome to MBOA. Can you tell us if this problem (non-starting) only occurs when the car is parked as you describe.

I take it that this drive is very steep.
You say you've fitted non return valves (I presume to stop fuel flowing back into the tank.) Is there any indication of a fuel leak.

I think more information is required:neutral:

Try changing the fuel filter and the Primarily filter also it may be the main fuel filter sealing ring

lmao sue, i feel i had to show appreciation for your wit, and milton i'm afraid i too would have to agree,either just park it the other way round, teach your wife to reverse or pay to have your drive levelled out!
