[s-cars] RS2-related Fuel Pump Question

[Dave Forgie]

I just had a really bad thought. My car was amongst the first in Canada to have the "KY" leaking fuel line recall done.  They didn't really have it figured out back then.  The solution of the day was to run a new fuel line (and move the steering rack to get it in).  I have just imagined the "worst":  the monkey lads kinked the new fuel line (somewhere where I probably can't see ot)  when they were installing it - creating a nasty flow restriction.  Well, I will pursue the other options first but before I replace the fuel pump, I will check for kinks (or other restrictions) in the fuel line.  Dave F.

I dunno your answers, Dave, but yours is the second S-car I've heard of  
with what sounds like the same problem - excessively low fuel  
delivery.  Keep us informed, please.
