I'm guessing that your filter is under the hood an not by the tank. A second thing to look into is vapor lock of the fuel in the line going up to the pump. If this is the case you can either try to keep heat as far away from the line as possible or to get an electric pump mounted as close to the tank as possible. If vapor lock is the problem getting a new mechanical pump won't help much if at all.
