And as a first question, Have you asked a ford dealer? How old is the car? If it is a tdi it's fairly old, has it been serviced with fuel filters replaced at the appropriate times? as some people can do that mileage in a year, others 10 years. First of all needs to be diagnosed as a fuel problem, as there could be many other problems that give the same effect.

suggest you tell us more about the car.

Tapping sensation on the brake pedal sounds like a ABS problem not a fuel pump failure or have not fully understood.
