I had one of the black Facet pumps go out on my 1966 Mustang after about
two months in which time it had very little use. It made the noises but
didn't deliver the goods. I think something happened with an internal
bypass, maybe. I replaced it with a similar pump and haven't had any
trouble since but have been using non-Ethanol gas from "the blue handle" at
the pump.
Regards,
Derf
