I read one of your earlier helpful posts for someone else and learned some fuel from the bottom is normal/OK. But as I said a lot poured out. Does this imply I have found a failed FA?
Re the WUR...yes rebuilt, but I don't know the origins of it or by whom, and clearly I am getting the wrong readings per my initial test and as per the photo you can it has been hammered at before. Tony can I open it and try to fix this one or just send this away as a core and hope for more success with another "rebuild"?

Flyboy,
This a good time to start learning to troubleshoot your CIS. Now that you have removed the FA from the car, test it. There are several ways to do it. One of my favorite procedure is to partially submerge the FA in a glass of water and blow air into one of the upper ports and plugging the other upper port using my thumb. Take a deep breath and blow air into the port.
Other procedures:
1). Use a bicycle foot pump.
2). Use a battery operated tire pump.
3). Use air compressor.
4). If you know how to test run your FP, install the FA and connect the 2 upper ports. Leave the bottom port detach to observe the fuel flow (if any). Place disconnected return line from the bottom port in a collection vessel. Test run the FP no longer than 2 sec. If the FA is good, there will be no fuel flow at the bottom port. If it is bad (ruptured diaphragm) fuel would be dripping out.
Do not do test #4 if you feel uncomfortable. That’s OK.
You need a CIS pressure tester kit if you like to investigate your WUR and the skill to manually operate your FP. If you are NOT ready, that’s OK and we will walk you step by step to get to the next level.
