My point was that I (twice) experienced exactly the same symptoms as you when trying to pump to a full tank. 
 
I understood that part....I was just trying to determine how our plumbing compared, and try to understand what might cause the loss in performance. Paul Conner 
 
OK. I have simply avoided the scenario, but my WAG at the time was that the returning fuel had nowhere to go (quickly) and this affected the pump / rail pressure to make the mixture go either overlean or overrich. Luckily I was at a much better spot than you, and just descended at idle. I did try a power blip on short final and all I got was about 2000 rpm and very rough.
