Fuel pump issues mondeo MA petrol 2.3 Duratec

[toyota lexcen]

the one i just changed the pins on the pump assembly look pretty good.

the original Ford one you could see the carbon on it

the fuel filter catches crap out of the fuel, the electric motor has to work harder and harder to get the fuel to the motor

thats my thoughts anyway, its about a $1000 job at dealer, if you get stranded and need a tow the $ add up. Then it becomes pretty disappointing.
