[DMCForum] Re: anyone have an extra fuel pump??

["Brian" <TK581@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to clarify - I DID do a white glove treatment before installing 
the new components, including new filter and new pump and hoses.  I 
just want to make sure that I wasn't taken as some stupid idiot who 
just throws crap together.  I'm sure others can relate to the 
frustration of purchasing an item and it getting screwed up.
