I would like to ask Craig and others if he would want to try a fuel pump my friend gave me that is an electric fuel pump with an adjustment flow. He gave it to me in case I needed it for the Beetle(he has a hot rod Beetle). He said it would work for my 2.1. Anyway, if you wanna try it, I would be able to get you the info on it and see if it works with yours(mine as a backup, tho you have a different gas setup) and you can have it for free. I will get another. LMK.
