Re[2]: Fuel Pump Bees

["CHRIS AHOLA" <aholact@songs.sce.com>]

     My fuel pump buzzed for two years and finally dropped dead 
     yesterday.  Just keep in mind that where ever it dies is where 
     you'll be stuck. My wife was lucky, it died in front of a repair 
     station just a 1/2 mile from home.  The price of my new pump 
     (#443 906 087 BB) was $176 from SPI.  Tell them you "saw it on the 
     web" for the added discount.

     P.S. I was going replace it myself on Saturday but "Surfs Up" and 
     for only $87 in labor I'll let the mechanic do it while I spend 
     my day at the beach.  Sunny skies and 80 degrees in LA - I just 
     hate these harsh winters.

I think they can be had for less than $200 if you shop around. 
I got a Bosch unit for $189 (I think) when mine went belly up. 
New filters are about $5-$10, about an hour's labor.
