Definitely send it back, no reason you should be stuck with it.

And, this is a tip from Jim Arnott that worked for me:  Bosch equivalent for
VW Vanagon fuel pump: www.rockauto.com:  BOSCH Part # 69100 Electric Fuel
Pump In-line, $84.89.  Search for the '86 F150 with the 302 V-8.

No doubt other suppliers have this too, like NAPA. Why pay more?

Send it back! I have always found that Amazon is good about fixing problems
with things purchased through them. The same pumps fit multiple applications
so even if it gets sold again who knows what vehicle it will go in.

You can get the real deal new Bosch pump on Amazon, shipped from them, for
less than what you paid shipped from that outside vender. That said our
Vanagon parts vendors have to make a living in order to stay in business so
consider buying from one of them.

good. bubble wrap envelope - cheap ship - good. pump box taped closed - bad.
open it to find local newsprint covering a rebuilt pump. I'm going to eat
this because if I return it. they'll pull the same scam on some one else.
have notified Amazon - actually did the feedback; poor/negative. will post
