        Keith, the pump is an in  the tank model  which only the USA vans
had.  These pumps are not made  to come apart and be put back together.  If
it is apart then it is broken  and needs to be replaced.  Probably got frozen
especially in your neck of  the woods.  I have them in stock, see my
_Vanagon New Parts_ (http://frankcondelli.com/sales.htm)  webpage, under  the
"Westfalia Camper Parts" heading.   The are just connected to  the water line
and to 12v electric and sit in the bottom of the tank, not  connected to
anything else.

>>>>>I was out at Belleview Beach last weekend and  waterpump stopped
pumping to
the sink. I just opened the tank and  I  am out of  water. That's not a
problem here in Newfoundland, but the  pump appears to be apart and laying
on
the  bottom of the water tank.  I have never seen it before, so I don't know
the configuration. How does it  all fit together?<<<<<<
