Had a similar problem. When i investigated i found the metal cover was rusty and when i brimmed it found the cover had gone slightly porous where it was rusty. Got myself a new pump assembly of fleabay for a few quid, cleaned the few little bits of surface rust off the cover and painted it up with a coat of smoothrite, Sorted!!

ok heres an update and its good news, i cleaned the interior and the boot and while i was there i uncovered the pump area and unscrewed the seal, the plastic gasket or whatever its called wasent covering all the way round and was no correct at one area, so i corrected it and screwed it back on real tight, then tonight i was very low so i totally brimmed it so i could see the fuel, i put in 68 litres which means that there was 7 left in the tank which means my guage is wrong but thats good coz that means its not as low as it thinks, so all in all very happy and if theres no drops under the car in the morning then thats a problem totally solved which is great stuff, now i can see if the computer for the the fuel economy is accurate using the brim drive brim calculate method, thanks for you help guys
