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

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Unless you like repeatedly ripping shit apart by using cheap parts 
I'd just buy another fuel pump.

It wasn't the vendors fault there was dirt in the tank still. Drain 
the tank, give it the white glove treatment on ALL components, clean 
out the all lines for crap you can't see. Scrub all p[arts of the 
fual baffle to remove any varnish. Clean it, then clean it agin, 
install a new pump, and replace the pump hoses.

Park the car and wait till you have the money to fix it. Other than 
that you'll just be fighting it all the time. Do it right thr first 
time.

Best of luck,

Joe
