Hi All, Dave, I am so very sorry to hear of your misfortune. It appears that Don Verity has zoomed in on the problem but my first experience with this was about 1988 in a boat that was brand new in 1986!. As I was running the oil pressure started to drop off (the gas had diluted the oil). I shut it down and the crankcase was over full (big time). Of course it was the fuel pump. The alcohol in the fuel disintegrated the diaphram. The biggest problem was all the little bits of rubber got into the carb. In a boat the fuel filter is ahead of the fuel pump. Since then, I have replaced two rebuilt so-called "alcohol proof" fuel pumps on my old cars. The diaphrams in both were shrivelled up and disintegrated. Greg. ------------------------ Yahoo!
