Eric and I have been talking about ways to increase air flow to the fuel pump.
Came up with disconnecting the J tube from the heat exchanger, turning it to point towards the pump, and use the heater fan to blow air on the pump. Just have to disconnect the rest of the heater tubes so it doesn't blow hot air into the cabin. But might not need to, going home through SLC, then across through Reno. Weather show pretty mild temps going that route. Following Eric to SLC tomorrow, if it dies we'll unload his car and put mine in the trailer and continue on to his shop, and install a new pump ( in the front trunk ) then head home from there. If all goes well with the lower temps then I'll keep going and make windover Nevada, then drive the rest of the way Monday. 18 hrs and 1100 miles to home. Jeff |
