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

["Brian" <TK581@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yup!  And the pump did work fine for a while.  It wasn't until a 
week or two later that it failed.  I'm sure there was a crevise 
which I missed or so and it just took some time for it to 
accumulate.  Still, the fuel filter should have been able to handle 
it.
