There was a 3-20-07 recall (#33098) because the MRA (modular reservoir assembly) was manufactured with the vent & fuel return tubes reversed. You can call 1-877-335-7443 to find out if yours was affected by this problem & if it was ever taken care of . Worth checking out to see if it has anything to do with your problem
