One comment on electric pumps and ethanol
One more comment on electric pumps and ethanol I would add. I have had problems with electric pumps seizing or working poorly once they have had ethanol gas run through them and then have been allowed to stand open to the air dry.
Discovered this on test stand running in engines once used if the fuel pump was allowed to stand dry they failed. Had two of them do this in a row fortunately this happened both times with in a month of buying the pump and the auto parts store took them back. Now when I disconnect an pump from the engine or from the tank I make sure that the line and pump stay full of gas.
Just a thought.
Cheers Phil
