That's something that I've spent time on since it doesn't cost anything. I have both pumps running off of Bosch relays with power right from the battery. Since the X battery is in the trunk, we're talking a couple feet from the 044 right now.

Like I said, obviously not related to your fuel issue, but in the picture you can very clearly see the BOV vacuum line is not secured on the nipple. I never said anything about your FPR.

I'll take another look the next time I'm down there. The nipple on that particular BOV is gigantic and it's tough to get the line on it (which also makes it unlikely to come off).

I just replaced all of the lines on Friday when the surge tank was installed--nearly 35 feet of braided hose (cha-ching).

The only lines I had wondered about were the hard lines from the fuel tank area up to the engine bay. Obviously that's improbable but we did find a fair bit of that black goop on the injectors at one point.
