Consumer Description

AFTER SMELLING GAS AFTER A SHORT STOP I DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP DISCHARGE FLANGE HAD 7 CRACKS WHERE FUEL WAS LEAKING AND FILLING THE CAVITY AT THE TOP END OF THE FUEL PUMP. AFTER CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SPECIAL AFTER MARKET CLAMPS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AND SOLD TO MAKE THE REPAIR, AVOIDING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP. *TR
