Hey Alvin,

I'm about to fit the fuel pump to my car. The DRB manual says to make a new cover plate from aluminium but I noticed yours has the standard pump cover plate. The person who built it probably just added some pipe to the bottom of the pump so it would reach the bottom of the tank. I've been considering doing the same thing myself but cant work out how I could do it and still get a good seal.

Maybe the seal on yours is not so good? It might be worth going around the edge with a silicone sealer of some sort and see if that helps.

Any chance you can post a pic of your tank and pump?
