Wedged -- No way would I pay to repair that pump... for another $200 or less you can get a much better pump and not have that problem again.

PS -- On fuels...

I've been telling all my buddies that if their garages smell like gas -- to change their fuel lines - and DO NOT use anything that is rubber! Including the stainless braided stuff... I've switched anything that is flex hose - to the TFE (Teflon) braided stainless... and no more stinky garages!

So one of my buddies didn't believe me -- but showed up with his fancy new black braided cloth hose - I whipped him up a couple of replacements with the TFE stuff... and he goes home and calls me -- says "damn, I hate to admit it... but you're absolutely right... no more gassy smell!"

You'd think this was 10 or 15 feet of hose - but we're talking about 2 foot lengths!

Seems the "new fuels" under EFI pressures -- just blow right through the rubber... you won't see anything wet -- but you'll smell it!
