Pierburg pump for 4KQ???

[Quattro]

I recently had a bad experience with Pierburg pumps, so I would be cautious.
A friend with an 86 CGT wanted to replace his factory pump and filters.  He
bought a Pierburg, and we spent some time installing and modifying the wires
(the Pierburg does not take the factory connectors).  When we opened up the
clamped line to the fuel tank, the pump started oozing fuel.  We
triple-checked everything, and ultimately decided it was coming from the
pump itself.  We could see where gas was seeping from a seam at the
discharge end of the pump.

We returned the still-functional Bosch pump (and wiring!) to the car so he
could drive it.  We contacted our parts provider sjmauto.com, and he sent us
*another* Pierburg pump.  We again attempted to install the Pierburg, and
the new replacement pump leaked in the same manner.  We were very careful to
make sure we did not damage the pump in any way, and checked all fittings
tight.

We have returned both Pierburgs for refund, and will install the new Bosch
Scott sent us when our schedules next coincide.  We are quite satisfied with
the service Mr. Mockry has provided, but are mystified as to why the
Pierburg pumps suddenly seem to have a containment issue.

YMMV, etc.
