I really dont think anything is wrong with these pumps.

I also don't think getting ethanol free gas is going to do a single thing.

Except give me back the performance and mileage I would otherwise have with no ethanol. Unless tuned for E10 or E15, it just hurts performance and mileage. With 12.5:1 compression and VVT, of course gains can be seen with tuning for ethanol all the way up to E85.

The replacement pumps do make a dramatic difference in the sound, but it appears only for a short while since it appears are of the same build quality.
