Not sure what current the fuel pump takes Ken but that Econoseal connector has a contact current rating of only 10 amps max. The pump is however fused at 15 amps!
Such things happen every few years at the MMC. When/if I hear of them, I list them for posterity.
The company has not, at least in the past, done regular advisories to the authorities on such things as other companies do. Owners/dealers must find out about any and inform each other. They can then perform what is, typically, a quick fix to avoid sadness.
One of the earlier such issues is worth mentioning as it turns up often. It happened to the MMC when they adopted SPAL rad fans,
otherwise a VERY wise move. The Production Department kept using the same relay, fuse and wiring as they had used with the earlier (whimpy) rad fans. The big SPALs have, comparatively, a much larger draw. A special wiring kit can be purchased from SPAL (or you can make you own if you understand wiring with parts sourced at the nearest factor) consisting of a BIG relay, 30 amp fuse and more potent wiring. Before the MMC figured this out, there was a plague of failed fans..which caused engine damage to non-alert owners who didn't keep an eye on the coolant temp gauge in traffic. The point is that many moggers of older cars switch (pun!) to SPALs or similarly potent fans, in a justified hope of mitigating their heating issues but forget to upgrade their way of wiring it in.
I shall put a note in the Plus 4 section to warn others. TY
