Quite true! One year, we were coming up the hill from Bella Coola (quite steep), when the fuel pump went. I managed to limp our van into a resort (Escott Bay Resort) at Anahim lake. The lady running the place said that it would take 3 days for a part to come from Williams Lake (this was in the mid '80's), but that maybe her neighbour could help, so she phoned him. He came over, took a look & went back home, saying he would be back. He came back with a brand new fuel pump in the box! Seems he used to have the contract to fix the police cars at the time & this was a common item. We spent 2 hours on the side of the road in mosquito & horsefly territory & got it working again, perfectly! It was a true blessing! And to top it off, he wouldn't accept any money for all of thhis.
