Subject:Curious incident of the fuel pump that did not whine in the night
From:Stephen Edwards

Hi volks,

The van abruptly stopped running tonight, fortunately only 4 blocks
from home (this is where teenage boys come in handy, or my better
part would have had to abandon it by the roadside).  Has gas, has
lights, it cranks, but as soon as I got in and turned on the ignition
I noticed NO SOUND coming from the fuel pump.  It has 178,000 miles
on it, the pump looks suspiciously pretty like it probably is not the
original.  The filter was new about a year ago.

Does the list recommend any tests before I simply order up another
fuel pump?

And while I'm at it, any advice on which brand of pump to get?

Steve, in Chicago, 91 GL with '95 Subie 2.2 installed.
