Yes Tom. How is your pump plumbed. Do you have a diagram, or a picture of how your lines are routed. I cooked my Magnafuel pump a couple of years ago. I was running a Summit 5 gallon fuel cell. And the provisions for the vent tube, and return line were located at the rear of the cell. When the car was under acceleration it would occlude the vent, and the pump would eventually cavitate. After about 65 runs it just burned up. And ruined the pump vanes. I had Magnafuel rebuild it. They said it was cavitating. But i couldnt figure out why. Had to just figure out where the fuel was moving to during a run. You might have to do a little detective work.
