Fuel Pump?

[Mayhem]

All good thoughts.
I wanted to convert to an electric, but funding is short right now after the holidays. I replaced with a new mechanical one.

I have never heard of a glass filter breaking. At least not on its own. It is suspended to where it can't hit anything, without a major impact anyway.

Still don't want a fire in an impact either though. That leaves the cheesy plastic "kind of clear" ones. I always liked being able to really see what was in there.

I am putting one before and after the pump to rule out dirty gas or anything coming from the tank. This actually started right after I filled up with some pump premium.

Will let ya know. Thanks guys.

Sadly, I think the diaphragm going bad is a symptom of ethanol added to modern gasolines. It attacks the old rubber components that aren't made to interact with modern fuels.

Changing the oil is a good idea. I had a Vette years ago that had a bad diaphram and leaked fuel into the crankcase. How old is your fuel tank? Is it the original? I don't like the glass filter either and personally I would stay with a good mechanical pump.
