Well, the Vanagon project continues to be visited by the infamous Murphy. The latest seems to have been a fuel pump that was bad right out of the box. My mechanic has told me that this is not unusual. He once put a brand new "in-the-tank" type fuel pump and have it not work. He replaced that one with another one and that TOO was bad ... again.... right out of the box. Two in a row! Thank gawd that mine is an external pump and easy to get to. I can't imagine having to drain and remove a gas tank 3 times to fix a simple problem.
With some luck today will be the day she'll run well continuously. Cost over-run for the project is coming in around $1,000... acceptable considering it's not government work.
TBC......
