FACET Square Body Pump Woes

Well, now I've done and seen everything.

Last night my car's FACET fuel pump stopped working on my BJ8. I pulled out the Thor and gave the rear bulkhead a good whack or two, and the pump started working again.

Reminds me of the SU I had in there 15 years ago....

The new round bodied ones are more reliable and quieter.

Had two round Facets and both failed with in hours of use. Won't use them again.

Bruce,

Agree with Johnny. Must be something else. I have two in my car, one has 20K miles or so and the other is new awaiting it's day. I run the secondary now and then just to be sure the backup pump works.
