Thanks Alex.

Too bad about the engine blown in your truck. Hey, at
least it was close to your home.

Yes, the part about the surrounding plastic is what
throws me off in this fuel pump.

If memory serves me well, I took a fuel pump out of an
'86-87 Audi 5K CS wagon in the boneyard and it did not
have the plastic surrounding. Then again, that was a
Bosch fuel pump and not a Pierburg.

Also that Bosch pump had hat looking canister on top,
a noise reducer/ dampener?

Should my car happens to be equipped with a Bosch
containing such device and I replace the pump with a
Pierburg, do I have to add that device to it; and can
it be done or needed? 

By the way, Shokan has yet another Pierburg fuel pump
for sale at the same price you bought your on E-bay. 

How long did it take for your pump to be delivered and
how much was your total tag with the S&H included, if
you don’t mind me asking.

-Best Regards,

Louis
