Put a new pump in (Another FG0072), and noticed that the plastic hose is much shorter on the new pump. The power connector was also changed (A new one was included, had to splice it on).
Pressure is good (62 psi) before start, and pressure remains at 58 psi for 5 minutes plus, after key is turned off.
Thanks for letting us know how it went.
Sounds like you found the problem with bad pump bleed off.
On the plugin wiring you should use solder on the wire splices and seal wires with heat shrink and wire sealer.
Hope they have got the hose problem fixed on newer pump.
Good luck with this one.
