Did the same for me a few weeks back. That is what I call service!

You probably do not need a new pump as the motor is running. That indicates the the wiring is okay. And the motor is the only semi-complicated thing about the pump. You have probably sheared the " key drive " that connects the motor shaft to the pump gear. It is a cheap piece of plastic that the manufacturer would say is meant to fail to protect other parts. In reality, it sells lots of pumps. But anyway, there is a reason the part would break and that is usually that the gears have swollen. But the gear kit includes a new " key drive". So - two birds with one stone. If your pump is a FPL brand it is now sold by Graco here is a link to an "Instructions- part list" for the Graco GTP10 pump that comes in several models.

My old FPL model fp10 is now a model 260000 Graco. GRaco does not sell direct so you need a distributor -- I just "googled graco repair kit 260434" and came up with a distributor as in "empirefoam.com" I ordered a (seal) repair kit from Intech (888 920 1313) yesterday for $11. Same price that empirefoam quotes but my $11 purchase became $21 with shipping. You should order both the gear kit and the seal kit, and the shipping would probably the same for both items.

Yes, I also have a question on the fuel station pump.. Sorry for taking this post over OP, but tonight I'm extremely frustrated with my Raptor.. Couple of weeks ago I had fuel in the fuel station and it pumped just fine, tonight I decided to pump a little out again and guess what??? NO PUMPING!!! The pump was running but was not pumping fuel...Now of course I probably ruined the pump because I ran it too long hoping it would prime and start working, but NO, of course not. Now what?? do I need a new pump?, I'm really getting sick of working on this RV...Oh, and by the way I just topped off the fuel tank the other day, so it is completely full of gas.. Generator runs just fine.. I feel like running this thing off a cliff very soon...:M

Probably a GPI pump.
