[s-cars] Strange Fuel Pump Behaviour

[Robert Myers]

Brian,

Were I you I'd replace that sucka soon.  If you have ever had a FP go 
belly up on you 135 miles from home on a Labor Day weekend with not 
even Billy Bob's truck shop open and nothing for at least 40 miles in 
any direction and with absolutely zero cell phone coverage and not 
even any houses with a telephone for 4-5 miles in any direction you 
would understand why I make that recommendation.  It's cheap insurance.

Bob
