Folks:  Anyone ever had their electric fuel pump spew gas out the joint between the bakelite plastic body and the crimped aluminum housing?   No question that I'm needing a new pump, but any idea as to what causes/caused this?  It's a remanufactured pump I was "forced" to buy on the road ini Nebraska a couple years ago.

1.  The engine runs okay so it's getting adequate fuel pressure according to my gauge(22-30 PSI).
2. Only getting 15mpg(duhh!!  gas is dribbling/spewing out the back of the pump!)
3. Don't think a clogged fuel filter would cause this much back pressure.
4.  Any chance the return line has a restriction in it?

We'll go shopping for a junkyard pump up here in theNorhtwoods of WI here shortly.  A new Pierburg my be out of the question til we get home.

Thanks
