Is that part number a NAPA number? It didn't have any results searching the
NAPA site.
The Carter pump at Advance Auto is about $250.00. Is that what I should
expect to pay at any auto store?
The metal lines are just as rusted and pitted as my front brake lines that
blew out on me. There are 2 lines, one smaller then the other. I assume
the smaller one is the return line?
Is there any reason why I cannot replace the metal lines with high pressure
rubber fuel lines rated for fuel injection with fuel injection style hose
clamps?
If I were to replace them with metal lines, the ends need to be formed to
accept the quick connects, right. Or cut the ends off and compression
couple them to the new lines? And a lot of bending involved again. Seems as
though rubber would be much easier, and wont rust out again.
Thanks for any suggestions.
James

Grady, thank you, that's the way it is. Jamie, the part number is NFP74675M,
you can look that up in the online catalog and see what it looks like. The
dark thing on the bottom is the filter, which they call a strainer. The
photo is taken without the sending unit attached. It should be up halfway in
that photo.
I know what I said sounds really stupid, but maybe it's not even DC's fault.
The pump is a Carter item, maybe it's made for them exclusively, and they
only distribute them to the dealers. I think they make the damn thing to
last the life of the pump, given that you never get any contaminants
(solids) in a fill-up. Or that the pump assembly is always fitted tightly to
the tank opening. I thought I did it right back in '04, but when I changed
it again in March, it was not. And the person helping me was with me when I
did it in 04 and even he said he thought I screwed it down tight back then.
Lesson to all: When you're doing a pump on a GenII or III, use toothbrush
and clean rags and do a good lob on the threads on the top of the tank
opening, AND the screw collar. Dirt in those threads really fakes you out as
to when it's really sealed. Biff
