So let's do a bit of work on the car. As mentioned my high pressure pump is buzzing pretty loud. Usually that's a sign that either it is going bad, that the "lifter" primary pump in the tank is broken, or that there is crap in the fuel line.
Didn't have time to get under the car today, so I just pulled the main tank assembly and lifter pump. The tank, thankfully, looks really good inside. No rust or anything that I can see. The lifter pump screen was pretty clean as well, just a few bits of grit on one little area. I jumped the pump off the battery and it runs fine so that's one problem eliminated. Later this week I'll pull the fuel line from the HP pump and check the screen. Probably good time to change the filter down there too, who knows how old that thing is...
inside the tank:
Also after yesterday's big rain, checked the trunk. A swimming pool in the driver's side "cubby" area next to the trunk. I drilled a drain hole for it. Still not sure where it's leaking in. I'm gonna put a hose on the trunk and try to locate where all the water is leaking from. I can't see any obvious things right now....
And some other photos from Jason Catterson from the last event, of my car, the guys, and a few other good ones.
