My wifes 300D has a similar problem. Although its rigged with a 2 tank setup. On WVO it acts like its choking at anything higher then 60mph. I think either the primer pump is leaking and it leaks worse with the added stress of sucking the oil from the tank, or the lift pump itself is bad.

Speaking of the lift pump. I can't seem to find one on Fastlane or anywhere else for that matter. Or is the "primer assembly" actually what is known as the lift pump?
