BZZZZZ... (silence)



Hello all!

I just had to share my experience to those of you running around with bumble
bees in the back of your car (noisy fuel pump)

Well..
I was sitting outside a friend's house and talking away idling and all
of the sudden the bee's quit buzzing about the time I said "Oh sh:t" the 
car stalled....
I tried it once knowing it wouldn't start...

I then pulled out my trusty mag light and beat on it a couple times...
cranks it fired up (stumbled) finally smoothed out....
Decides to try and run for the local parts store.. 
Put the car in reverse and as I was easing the clutch pedal out the car
stalled for good this time....

Fuel pump still buzzed but was not producing pressure...

Thank the lord for the Cell phone....
called a buddy he picked me up and let me borrow his vehicle to run 
and get tools and go to the parts store...

Got a lifetime warranty pump for $114 w/tax...
I was really suprised w/lifetime warranty...
It is NOT a german company but it works fine and no more buzz @ all...
Anyone have experience w/Master FPs?

All I know is I am sure glad it work....

Sorry for the WOB, but guys if your FP is buzzing and increasing in tone
then don';t be stupid like me go ahead and replace it NOW!

Later!
