Just wondering if any one has had this issue and what's the probable cause.
I build a complete high power engine (see the signature) and thought in order to ensure sufficient fuel supply I'd install a new lift pump. I bought it brand new (VDO), wired it (per 'ID Parts' instructions) and it functions well. Except for one thing. It will pull some air in once the tank is below 5/8 full. Did any one experience this? The pump was sitting in my garage for at least six months before I finally installed it. I didn't like the look of those corrugated hoses. It looks exactly like some spouts on smaller gas cans. It is my experience they last about 2.5 pours before there is a break somewhere on them and it starts spilling out. I'll have to pull it out and verify. Just wondering if there is some history on this.
