Hey Ben. Thanks a ton for the offer. I just got back from a parts store and
I think I found what I need. A banjo to barb fitting. Going to go try to put
it on in a minute.

[tigran at tigran.com paraphrased "Go to Schucks website, they have one for
$140, lifetime warranty and
there is one at the warehouse within driving distance. Picked it up, it
looks hardly anything like my pump. Instead of barbed ends it has threads
and the "out" port has threads and holes on the side as if it was made for
an i-bolt type setup, however there is absolutely no space for an i-bolt
because the power terminals are like 2mm away... Ether way tried to hook up
the lines to it. The intake side worked well enough, the "out" side did
not.
Even with the hose tightly around the port, the holes have enough pressure
to spray like crazy everywhere".

threaded end to a barbed fitting"...]

Tyson,

Just trying to help make sure your 4kq matters don't get worse.

My understanding is that you think it is the fuel pump.   Also, there seems
to be some question as to whether you had the correct pump to begin with (
you said it had barb fitting) and whether you have the correct replacement
pump(threaded banjo fitting with cap nut).  It sounds to me like someone
may have installed the wrong pump before.  The correct one is the one with
Banjo fitting that you just bought.  So for $140 even if it the one on
there now is not bad, at this point go ahead and replace it.

Ben
p.s. I can overnight the correct fittings to you if need be - you are
looking for a banjo fitting with cap screw.
