Thanks Vince. That's exactly how I remember my '78's fuel pump behaving
many years ago. In the '74, it just makes a constant buzz (but manages to
spit fuel out with the line disconnected). Knowing my DPO, the original
fuel pump has probably been replaced by a Gerber breast pump or something.
I think his motto was "if you can find it around the house, why buy it?"
