I made a purchase of a fuel pump on Rock Auto that turned out to be a different design than the original pump. The gizmo on top of the pump would not fit, so I did not reinstall it. Little did I realize at the time how much trouble it would cause. I installed an after market check valve, but that burned the pump out. The pump burned out on the interstate, thankfully close enough to an exit to coast out of traffic, and cost me a $250 tow.
I have installed the correct pump, re-installed the gizmo, and now it starts just fine even after sitting overnight.
