You've convinced me - I'm going to convert to an electric pump. It'll be a late January project most likely, as the car is currently in storage due to an overfilled garage here at home (but will be selling my '97 M3 soon I hope, and then the TR6 can come home).</div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">By the way - I called Moss today to tell them about the issue with the pump and my desire to return it, and they gave me a full refund (including refund of the shipping charge) no questions asked, and didn't even require me to send the defective unit back to them (largely because it has of course had gasoline passing through it and therefore could be troublesome to ship). Now that's great service!!</div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Again, your quick feedback is much appreciated - happy holidays all!</div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Regards,</div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Tim</div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><br></div><div class="ydpdcbcb8f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">

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="ydp60bb82dyiv3974973210MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="ydp60bb82dyiv3974973210MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">Question for all of you - can you recommend a company who does high-quality work rebuilding our OE mechanical fuel pumps?
