OK, fast forward three months, the fakakta pump is still giving me issues, dammit.
Every time if the car sits a day or two, the plunger on the inlet side gets stuck. I have to pull the primary filter and stick a long small bladed screw driver in the pump's inlet to unstick it. I've tried adding MMO to the tank hoping it would help. NOPE! It's as if something is gumming it up but the fuel is clean and has no residue or clouding. I've taken it apart and everything is clean.
I am at wits end and I am tired of my hands perpetually stinking like diesel fuel and my wife *****ing at me about that I always stink like friggen diesel fuel.
It stupid little things that this that make me hate this car.
