Regarding yesterday's discussion of a less expensive, more available fuel
pump for the Vanagon:

    I have been using a fuel pump for one of the Ford Bronco/Ranger vehicles
that has a Bosch look-alike fuel injection system much like our Vanagons.
The NAPA part # is 2P74028,  and the price is around $60.00.  Napa also has
a couple of suitable fuel filters for the intake side of the pump.  Their #
is 3032, or Purolator F63169.  These both are metal can types, not the
plastic that VW used.  Again, use these on the intake side of the pump.

    I hope this saves somebody a buck or two, or maybe saves a lost day or
two of vacation time.
