[FC] Electric Fuel Pump Failure

[* Greenbrier Goon *]

Hey everybody:

There's just nothing like having your car break down on a 112 degree day.

Today, my electric fuel pump died moments after leaving work for lunch.  
Fortunatly I was able to coast into a fast food parking lot so lunch was not 
completly ruined.

Anyway, this pump is only about 2 years old.  It is cylider shaped and I 
bought it from a Corvair parts supplier.  Seems like it should last longer 
than that.

The pump is still making some noise.  It's just not as loud and isn't  
moving any fuel.

Back when I bought my FC, everyone I knew who had Corvairs told me not to 
use a stock fuel pump.  "They leak". "You'll burn your Van to the ground."

Is this true?  Should I worry about stock pumps?

I had my Van towed home and dropped in the driveway.  It's good to have the 
extra mileage plan with AAA.
