Consumer Description

Looks like the plastic the fuel pump housing is made out of is low quality or prone to degradation by fuel. Hairline cracks have formed on the fuel pump housing causing fuel to leak when the pump is pressurized and running. In my case a pin hole also appeared causing the leak to be quite significant. When reviewing the attached image. Most the major looking hairline cracks seep fuel. The pin hole can’t really be seen in that image but is located in the middle of the raised lettering that starts with a “C” (in between M and E) (I have a video of it)
