I was wondering if anyone has tried wrapping a section > of wire loom around the fuel hoses. There are a couple of potential fixes for this. I recall seeing in an old magazine where someone fashined a little shield that went over the drain hole, open at the bottom, to direct the water away from the pump (more like straight down). I saw something similar done on a car (not mine!) where someone had jammed a CD jewel-box cover behind the fuel hoses as a deflector. If you do this, and park where tree leaves will go down the windshield drain, be prepared to clean it out often or get wet feet, though. Dave Swingle
