[V8] Wonderful Dead V8

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Its not like the pump is hard to get out :)

I ordered a new pump and cleaned the screen on the old pump. Thus it
works for now... It sounds like 1-2 bees in the tank instead of 10,000 :)

We shall see I can use it for short trips and stuff. Pump should be here
in a few days and then I will replace it.

Ordered from Autohausaz
