I'm sure you're right, but we found out a while ago that there's an inner cup
which collects returned fuel, and that can make it look as if there's plenty of
fuel even when there's not much.  I'm sure you would know if it's leaking from
the smell though - or was it left parked for a long time?

Helpful if you can change it easily as I reckon the moment you get the pump
working it will blow the filter apart as it's not normally under pressure!  30
psi on a side of area 4 sq. inches adds up to a big force.

If you forget which pipes go where, look at the 'exploded' diagram on my
website - Type 3 parts book pictures.
