<VV> FLAPS Fuel Pump Rebuild Kits

[Marc Sheridan]

Jon,
This won't help you now, but you should've had a spare pump with you. I
always carry a spare fan belt and a spare fuel pump, plus the tools to
change them out.

You might be able to find an electric pump at your FLAPS to install (not
real easy) or just order two new pumps from one of our vendors. Install one
on the engine and put the other in the trunk, in case you have another pump
failure down the road. It's not hard to change them out and can  easily be
done along side the road if you have the tools.
