Hey Peter: My fuel pump is making funny noises that it didn't used to make. I
think it is rattling against the body is all, but it got me to thinking about a
thread on the list a while ago about an aux. pump in series. Could the pump you
refer to be installed in the engine compartment then if either pump quit you'd
still get home. Or don't they suck that good?
