sounds like the O-Rings in the tank fitting are swelling up. I have heard that you can remove the O-Rings but I have yet to try it.

Mine has done that since I bought it. This is not a problem if the pressure of the fuel after the pump is 42 psi I think. Someone else may have to chime in here.

Is the filter bone dry or is it emptying as fast as it is filling it?

The orings in your quick disconnect fitting are probably swelled up
disconnect your fuel line from your gas tank and remove the quick disconnect fitting from the tank. Take the fitting appart and there is an internal o ring around a little white plastic nipple. remove the oring and put the fitting back together. and put in back in the tank.
now without the oring your tank will leak gas when it is not connected. but it will not leak when it is connected.
when you connect the gas line back to the tank make sure you put the plastic nipple thing and spring in there or it wont work.

You unhook the quick disconnect by squ3eezing the litthe leaver on the top fitting and pull the bottom fitting appart. and then unscrew the fitting from the tank and then you can see the oring after you get it off the tank. its kinda hard to dig the oring out but after you do make sure you put the white nipple and spring back in the fitting before you connect the gas line

Im not real sure how true this is but I heard that a fuel pump from a 87 escort was the same???????????????

Gawd! i hope not. John will be here in no time trying to take it off my winter ride. LOL Note to john, if you want the pump... you'll have to take the whole car. LMAO

its normal. its just because the fuel fitler is on the suction side of the fuel line it does that. mine has done it since new.
