Anyone have one laying around not in use? I don't care if it's noisy as long as it works. If you have one you can ship out soon, please PM me with your price shipped to 70734.

Thanks!

(I know I should probably just get a new one, but I spent $300 on this thing and the rear section of the frame is FUBAR so I'd rather not spend much money just to keep it running.)
 
I didn't say anything about stealing. You did. I was saying a big toolbox int he hope that it would be able to carry all the required tools. :repair::D
 
brand new fuel pump at oreilly's is only like $50. i just bought one right before i blew the motor in my cherokee...so that was a waste of money
 
I don't know. They didn't have ANY metal tank pumps available at the junk yard so I went back home and got to looking at my assembly better... and the pump looks brand new. I grounded the frame of the assembly to the battery terminal and when I hooked the power cable to the positive terminal the pump kinda stumbled, then POOF and a huge puff of dust came shooting out of the fuel line, along with what appeared to be a mud dauber nest. After that, the pump spun right up every time I hit it to the hot terminal. Stuck my hand into the tank to check for rust since I couldn't get it out (again, crumpled rear frame) and the tank seems clean... so this week I'm going to put it all back together and see what I get.
 
Flush it out with something before you put it in there. Run the pump and poor some beer through it or something :).
 
Pump seems to be fine- I had it running several minutes the other day without a hitch. Next course of action is replacing the battery cables before I fire it up again- the main ground and hot cables are both corroded to heck, stripped, and laying on top of each other. Oops...
