Well good to know and I'll pick some up.

Dealer finally experienced the issue though. Others have also mentioned it could be the fuel pump (did the low pressure FP recall in January) or filter. Switching the system on and waiting before actually cranking (ie. working on the 2nd time, etc.) may correct this - which may show fuel filter/pressure to be at fault. Anyone know if these E70s have a built-in "bypass" for it in case filters are clogged (at which point the filter may not be the prob)?

What's the lifespan on these filters? I run the tank near empty more often than not (usually don't drive far and sometimes too lazy). Maybe that "myth" about the crud on the bottom of the tank causing trouble is true.

We'll have to see what they find Monday.
