Looked very nice, has the manual priming lever, etc. I fitted it to the car, took it for a drive, and thought "great, another job completed". A few hours later I went into the garage and was hit with the strong smell of gasoline. The BRAND NEW pump was leaking from the top cover, resulting in a big puddle of fuel under the car. I've also determined that the manually priming lever doesn't function!! Needless to say, the new pump is going in the trash.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Question for all of you - can you recommend a company who does high-quality work rebuilding our OE mechanical fuel pumps?
