[Vwdiesel] Why gasss cars mpg sucks (fwd)

Some pumps self destruct if out of fuel. ---NOT   VE   on Rabbits.


  I think one (former??) listmember would disagree on that one.  He 
had to replace 4 pumps in about 70K miles.  Warranty covered NONE 
of them.  Claimed they were not lubricated or some such.  I believe 
he did get to see the worn parts and they sure looked it.  He argued 
you can't run a diesel engine WITHOUT lubricating the pump.  Didn't 
matter.  :-(
