    I'd probably make a phone call to the supplier, see what they say about warranty replacement and go from there. Chances are they're going to say you broke it by overtightening. If they won't send you another one free then you can buy a quality pump to replace it. Summit or Jegs have a bunch to choose from.... You may actually be lucky, cause a crappy fuel pump will probably quit on you at the worst possible time, and you're done. It's a good place not to scrimp, IMO, and you may want to carry a spare on long trips if you keep what you're running.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
