Just curious, Mike. If you get a chance, please take one apart and see if  it 
has the gas dam (see the Tech Guide for a photo)  to prevent (maybe  reduce) 
the possibility of gas getting into the crankcase..."

 
OK Bob, I took one apart: the "damn" IS present.  Moreover, the diaphragms 
are fabric reinforced. Again, after having multiple  failures with other 
supplier's pumps, the NAPA, # M3988, as produced by Federal  Mogul, is the only one 
I've found that does not eventfully start weeping from  between the sections. 
I've also had other supplier's pumps simply quit  pumping for no apparent 
reason. OBTW: I use a filter between the fuel tank and  the inlet to the pump.
