We had an 84 GMC Suburban with a engine mounted mechanical fuel pump. When the fuel pump was heated by engine heat the fuel pump housing would expand and allow the high pressure to leak back into the low pressure (within the pump itself).
So, when ever we stopped for a quick burger we would have to go through a slow speed recovery and cool down period. Changing the fuel pump and replacing it with a "genuine GM" fuel pump did not fix the problem. Had to go with a 3rd party pump to fix.
