Max, -- Did your then new fuel pump points look like this:

Can you say when that pump was purchased?
It is approaching three years since I reported this problem with new
SU fuel pumps manufactured by Burlen. I got one intermediate
response some months later from a reseller indicating that Burlen was
ignoring the issue. It is possible that this problem is related to a
dingle production run, but mot necessarily. In the absense of any
positive response to fixing this problem, I can only recommend
avoiding purchase of any Burlen products. My friend who had the
problams with this one got his money back and bought a good
aftermarker fuel pump.
