Default Fuel Pump Fix

For those DRB guys,

I have posted a few threads concerning fuel issues especially the vapour smells always hanging around in the boot.

Well, I think I've sorted it

Last week, my fuel pump began giving up the ghost (whining and loss of power) so bit the bullet and bought a new one ($190).

Only problem was that Jackie hid it just so I would concentrate on the bathroom reno which also started las week (multi talented white collar worker )

Anyway, to move the trailer full of crap I need to move the Cobra. Therefore fuel pump replacement time

Replaced the pump and resealed the plate (using "Aviation Form a Gasket" - sticky stuff). Hey presto - no more vapour smells.

Only issue is why did my old pump give up after only 11,000 ks ?

Ah well, at least I'm back on the road in between removing walls / windows etc
