Megle2, I am sure Diffracted teaches what should be taught. It is however, in my experience, bad policy to pass on "good gen" to a student, many of whom are working hard to grasp the basics. I have seen very experienced people, during conversion to a new type, get overloaded with "good gen" by well meaning trainers. Get the basics right first and then, maybe, pass on the "good gen" if it is truly "good gen".

B2N2. I would be surprised if the engine driven fuel pump was not lifed. It would therefore be either replaced at engine overhaul or, at least, be inspected for further service if still inside its published TBO. The article below may be of interest:
