Well, pulled out the pump and the hanger assembly was pretty well falling apart rubber pieces were melted mush, metal parts rusted terribly. Pretty much fell apart in my hands. Can't imagine what would have caused this, fuel additive maybe, just sitting up maybe? Pump was kind of loud I think because the rubber isolator it sits in was well, mostly melted away. I'm sure it was loosing its pressure through the short piece of connector hose that was melted as well. Cleaned out the tank though it really didn't have any junk in there. This was an Airtex unit, going to replace it with a Bosch unit,found one local.I think we will be on the road soon!
