Very Expensive Preventative Maintenance
For anyone that will be replacing the drive belt on a Ford V-10 anytime soon: If you happen to remove all the plastic trim and air filter housing, etc., please be aware of how you put it back together...
Forum Discussion
This fuel pump/fuel tank discussion above reminds of a forum thread sometime back.
We were discussing having double fuel pumps for double reliability installed in fuel tanks by the manufacturers as an option, since a bad fuel pump can make an RV dead in the water in inconvenient places a long way from home, and since it's so much hassle and/or money to replace an in-tank fuel pump.
BTW, how does a repair shop return to the customer all the gas that might be in one's tank before they dropped it to install a new pump? Or do the repair shop employees get all your gas as a freebee and then bill the customer for another tank fill-up as part of the repair bill?
