so i found time and a friends garage to work in since my house is packed.....pulled pump two nights ago.
my fuel pump was 4 months old and 3000 miles on it when it started pouring fuel out, but i swear i smelled fuel from the min i changed it, just figured it was left over or spilled from swap.
found fuel shut off weeping fuel, then pulled and flipped over,
the big leak is coming from the
Transfer pump porting plate locking screw on the bottom of the pump. it was not a torx like i thought, it was very hard to see in the valley of the engine. there was no tamper paint on it(washed away?), took pics, i backed the bolt off a few turns to inspect seal, found the fuel pump housing is pitted and it looks like its a crush washer, not an oring.
so the fuel pump housing is junk! i really have a hard time believing stanadyne is sending out rebuilds with such poor quality! think this sell is pulling the wool over buyers eyes and lying about these pumps being a factory stanadyne rebuild!!!!! i will be sending a message to stanadyne to confirm. but to all out there looking to buy, you have been warned!!! i was and did not listen, i fell for paying more for a " factory stanadyne" "made in the usa" pump.....regret the decision the min i opened and inspected this "new" pump.
new pump the day i got it...look at the dirt in the optical sensor plug!!!
