A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Finished!!! Works like a....

Oh wait, the pump does not run....not a sound, not a drop....not a spark when I apply power directly to it...wonder why I did not try it before i reinstalled the tank...??  Dumbass!

I think I will take a couple of days off.  Have to go to the dentist tomorrow anyway...might as well do the whole masochist bit... :013:

That is correct and that's the way I did it.  It does not seem to be running at all

The one nagging feeling in the back of my mind is that I have it jacked up enuf to crawl under it and that maybe the little gas in the tank has uncovered the filter.

When I laid under the car and touched power to the pump lead, I could hear nothing and I did not get a spark when touching the connector...bu t?

I would like to think that no matter how silent these pumps are, I could hear it because it is fastened directly to the return tube of the pick up with no rubber between it...but?

Will get back on it tomorrow...:D

no...I ran a jumper to the back of the car so I could make the connection and listen for the pump without being drowned out by the antenna going up...also checked that for voltage...
