We use to replace a lot of them in Audis when a vent valve for the tank would stick shut and the fuel leaving the tank could not get replaced with air.
Well, I know a vacuum can do that - it just suprises me that the fuel pump is strong enough to make such a vacuum. I would THINK that fuel would stop flowing and the car would quit before a little electric pump could create such a vacuum!
But, I guess I am wrong.
Nothing new, I was married for 5 years and was wrong all the time - I'll get over it.
