This came out of my friends 94 FD that has clocked approximately 35K miles.

 

Glad you caught it.

 

Looks like there was some moisture in the tank. Was the fuel really low?

 

Apparently so. My friend said he drained a couple of gallons of coffee colored fuel from his tank.

 

That scares me. My car had been sitting in Japan for something like 6 years untouched before I got it. I've never looked at the pump...

Where's the best place to get a new pump online/anywhere? I might lift mine out and replace it as a precaution...!

 

rx7store.net

 

e 85 crap!

 

Im about to store my fd for about 8 months. Would it be better to leave the tank relatively empty or full?

I see reasons for both..

 

you want it full, the less air in the tank the better.

 

Mine sat with quarter of a tank for over 10 years in a container and is minty fresh in-tank. Must have been something up with that one, looks nasty!

 

rockauto.com has great prices on these. You want Denso P/N 9500155 (with filter sock) or P/N 9510014 (without filter sock).

 

Just google the pump you want.

I would not purchase ANYTHING from rx7store, especially not if you're international! They messed about A LOT with me, and constantly lied when I was able to contact them, when I ordered from them out of England.

They seem to have supporters in the states, but (in my experiences) they don't care to support international buyers.

 

I agree, that does not look normal. A pump sitting in pure gasoline for long periods of time should not look that way.
