That fuel pump saga really bothers me.

I installed mine over a year ago when I did my original work to bring my baby to life - thus I have only ever run her with that new pump and know no different.

I've always had a pressure loss issue - within an hour I can hear a popping noise from the accumulator as she slowly looses pressure. No worries I presumed the accumulator needs replacement and have one but still to this day haven't got to it.

But then I read a thread where someone is having all end of hell with rest pressure loss. It takes pages of diagnostic later before it is tracked down to the combo pump, and suddenly it is acknowledged this was a known issue with the new pump. Furthermore, it was akcnowledged the problem was specific to pumps sold in a known period of time.

To that end I asked what I felt was a pretty darned obvious question - if the vendors know the specific time those pumps were sold, did the vendors contact those customers regarding a "recall". Feel free to go browse that thread and see that the question was ignored.

I continue to feel very sick about that silence, it greatly disturbs me. I may potentially be one of those customers, I need to get around to installing my new accumulator and confirm whether the problem still remains, and if it does I've had the problem all along but obviously way out of warranty. If I am one of thosecustomers I will be absolutely furious, way more than furious, that I've had a faulty unit all this time that was known to be faulty and nobody gave a hoot about contacting me about. If I am not affected I still remain very sick knowing hat others do fall into that category but were never contacted. I had to let a local know here in Australia that the rest pressure saga he found and had to eventually solve himself with the new pump was actually a known issue because, you know, nobody thought to let the customers know they spent top dollar on a faulty batch.

Regarding whether the pump would be repaired or replaced for free even though it is out of "warranty" yet was specifically known to be faulty, must be a very different world in the US - here in Australia it would be illegal to deny that.
