Spent the night in Tulsa. The pump worked the next morning. Got to within 10 miles of Shawnee. Ken Henderson, and Alex Ferrara came to my rescue. Pump started again. Shut down again with just 2 miles to go. This time Ken, and Alex went and got a new pump. Then put it on. Chinese engine mechanical fuel pump made the trip to Mansfield Ohio very unpleasant last Sept. Seems to be a theme here. Bob Dunahugh

I was just dealing with this the other night. Looking to install an aux pump on a gmc. Faucet brand is $60. Like the one that still works on my coach 6 years later. (Probably going to croak now). Way too many options that look the same for as cheap as $20. I did not buy one. I liked the carter 4040 i bought for my old grand wagoneer, but that is too big and noisy and hard to mount for me wanting to use it on gmc as aux.

I did not buy one yet, But need to this week. Hate fuel pumps.

For installation simplicity beside the road, we chose a Mr. Gasket GEAR
pump with which Alex has had good luck. I personally would be very
reluctant to install any low pressure pump other than a Carter 4070 in
other circumstances.

I have installed several Carter 4070 electric pumps, including one on my
1969 Dodge Pickup that has been in service since about 1986. I have one on
my coach as well. Good pumps.

The slant thing went past me for a minute. Great. I've been to China. Not nice people to work with. And to my dislike. The replacement came from China. And when I get home with it. That pump is going back to Advance as defective. I'm sick of this stuff from China.

But Bob, did you make it to your destination, did the Linda modifications
work well for you, and did you tow anything? I just hope you guys got where
you were going, and that all is well with your newly outfitted coach.

Thanks James H. Like you put it. We're here, and Linda is extremely pleased how the GMC is working for her in the wheelchair. I made plenty of list, plans, and drawings back before I started this build. To make this all work out. And it has. Now I need to keep things in perspective. I'm miffed about the new pumps from China. But shouldn't have been surprise? The GMC it's self ran flawlessly all the way. I'm expecting some more issue. I'll cover those under another subject line.

Amen.

When I was a kid, the cheap stuff came from Japan. Then Taiwan. Then Korea. Then China. Then Vietnam.

Where next?

USA. only poor quality, not price. If we wanted to build a Nuclear Power
plant here today, we would have to buy the steel and other exotic metals
offshore. No longer made here.
