Call them. make a claim. get rebuild estimates. pay your deductable.
Eat the "depreciation" or whatever other bs they throw at you and get it done.
And continue to make noise about mercury.
They do know when they get bad press on these boards and they don't like it.
They may not do any more but at least your getting the word out.

Insurance would not cover this problem.

Man thats a stumper....
You checked about as much as you could to find something, but you say all is norm?
Maybe a valve guide seal is bad on an intake valve.

You may be right, but I wouldn't rule it out without a phonecall to my insurance first.

Insurance would cover it if it were to catch fire. Then lawsuit time. You know, like the rest of America would do.

You say that, You would be shocked what I have found in motors over the years.

Just a thought, if both motors are out of warrenty you could try swapping parts (fuel pump, regulator, injectors, etc...) between the two motors and see if the problem follows. Just because it tests good on the bench doesn't always mean it's good to go. Also who was doing the tests... the same guys saying " I dunno"?

Good luck and let us know what it turns out to be.

check the vaccum line going to the regulator and see if fuel or fuel odor is present = leaking regulator diaphram

+1

Also might check the vent line off the lift pump
( fuel pump mounted on the sea pump assy)
for pushing fuel.
