Cougar-15 years-good and not so good

On April 7th 1999 I picked up my Ford Cougar at the Dealership. Only 30km on the Odometer...smelt new...now 15 years later...184600km, a few aging signs, but still looking and driving great.
My family loves the good old Cougar. So I made it ready for the next technical Inspection (HU/AU). The cat passed it easily.. Two more years...running strong.
2 hours later I picked up Jonathan with the Cougar and...nothing happened. Engine tries to start but no gasoline. Called the ADAC(AAA)... Fuelpump won't run...my first idea as well. So the Cougar was towed to the next dealer. Hmmm. After a night standing still there he started again. Like nothing ever happened. Good for me and the Cougar. Time to find a solution.
