Hi folks,

I am posting this message for Maggie Dew, (from Oklahoma City) owner
of the "Anne Bonney", an '85 Westy with a 2.2L Subaru engine. She is
currently in Alamogordo New Mexico (the van is in Cloudcroft)
looking for a new fuel pump. She called last night and said that the
pump had sounded "funny" right after she had filled up, but that she
had been noticing funny pump noises for a few weeks beforehand. The
van started to quit and then stopped completely. Cranks fine but
will not start. She said that the pump no longer runs when the
ignition is switched on. I checked the Vanagon.com archives and gave
her both the VW P/N and the Ford fuel pump P/N (2P74028), in case
she can't get the correct VW part. From what she described, I don't
think it is the fuel pump relay, and she installed a brand new fuel
tank and filter when she converted last winter.

She has about 17,000 miles on since the conversion.

Any local help or advise from other list members would be
appreciated. She does not have email access (her laptop died a few
days ago) and apparently the local library is closed today (Sunday).

You can call her on her cell phone at 405-640-7690.

My only concern is that she get the correct pump, that matches the
incoming fuel line size.

Thanks,

Dave Milo
