RE: Fuel Pump

[Shannon Fenton <sfenton@telegroup.com>]

This is caused by a rotting rubber hose in between the strainer and pump on
the intank assembly.. This is the exact same prob as I had. .36 cents. Just
pull your back seat and pull up the pump assembly, replace the 1.5inch
hose. Problem solved.
