Glad to hear it is solved! I'm pretty sure that on the Mitsubishis, there is no electric fuel pump (or lift pump as people seem to call it). Fuel is just sucked all the way from the tank, through the filter (which has a priming pump), simply by the Injection pump. It makes me wonder if your electric pump is even needed?



Speaking of the priming pump (the hand pump on the filter head), does anyone have a recommendation for replacing or repairing it? Mine seems so leak a generous amount of fuel whenever I try to prime it.
