Not me personally

Had 1 on the xr2 and got 1 on the new Cossie engine for the fiesta that's just been dyno'd

Just take it apart before you use it and check for burrs as they can be roughly finished inside

Not had any issue personally but iirc the MAD camp have had issues, maybe worth giving Mark a shout.

Good call on the inspection/clean before use. You really shouldnt have to but if it saves an engine it well worth it.

Been speaking with Mark today, so have a few areas to look at.

Very odd though in that it's been fine to start with (last 2 years) but potentially now is at fault or has been getting worse...

Will get to the bottom of it on the dyno next week.

I've known the diaphragms to perish over time, leading to fuel cavitation
