Never had a problem as long as you tighten the manifold bolts/nuts often enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the mechanic would have listened to it priming or rather the lack of it priming so you should be sweet after this. It should be pretty cheap too as the pump doesn't cost much and it doesn't take long to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a reasonably common thing to occur when fuel pumps are installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
