Ahhhh. Eureka!
My shop called and said that the newly rebuilt pump I gave them had no pressure and was making a swueaking noise. I called the shop back and suggested that since the car had "bled out" of fuel because of the leak, that maybe there wasn't enough fuel hitting the pump and it was not priming. Well, I got a sheepish sounding phone call this afternoon saying that I could come pick up my vehicle.
Apparently, they had reversed the leads and the pump was running backwards. My visions of having to buy a new pump faded, happily. They did replace all the fuel lines from the tank to the pump with new MB hose. And they also put in a new fuel filter I supplied. The mechanic said that it did seep a little in the beginning, but stopped. He said the o-rings probably seated themselves after a couple of minutes. As for the leaking, George Des' suugested lubing the terminal posts with Seal All before reaasembling. Great idea!T otal garage bill is $233.
I agree with you on the single screw thing. Seems strange for the usually anal German engineers to design it with a central screw that would apply torque asymetrically.
