Look at the new pump closely.� The fuel outlet to the filter and beyond is probably made of plastic.� Be very careful when installing the hose on that end that you don't twist or bend that outlet fitting and snap it off as I did mine.� A costly and totally unnecessary mistake, and an instantly regrettable way to acquire wisdom.

I am about to replace my fuel pump, which is making an awful racket.� My
Bentley has info on page 20.16 for checking the rate, but nothing that I can
see on replacing the pump.� Is there anything I should watch out for?� I
have a new pump, but that is all.� Is there some compound that is used on
the hose connections or anything like that?

Thanks for the info,
Matt
