Ask the repairer if the combined pump and tank filter was contaminated with oil, if so, get them to check the engine bay fuel filter and see if it's black with oil contamination!
If it is black and you don't fix the tandem pump seal your new tank pump won't last long!

They did replace the fuel filter in the engine bay as it was not very clean. But on saying that I have done circa 16,000 miles since getting the car, the garage I got it from had supposedly had it serviced before I got it. That was July last year, so I guess it may be the supermarket diesel I put in it?

I'll check about the tandem seal as you mentioned above.

Thanks again  :happy2:
