Fred, the BJ7/BJ8 parts manual shows that a pump with a square body was =
used from Phase 1 to chassis number 28224 in Phase 2. After that, the =
pump had a cylindrical body. Your car should have the late pump.
I installed a backup fuel pump in my BJ8 to prepare for the cross-county =
trip to Lake Tahoe in 2002, using a generic Autozone electric pump as =
the backup. I have no experience with the double-ended pump.
=20
During my post-Conclave tour last September, I broke off from the tour =
group to motor into Montana alone. My backup pump (I typically drive =
outbound on the SU and home on the backup) failed just as I got into =
Montana. Once I realized why the car suddenly failed to respond to the =
accelerator, I switched to the SU and kept going. I found an identical =
backup pump at an Autozone in Minot, ND and had it installed in about 20 =
minutes. Installing a backup generic pump in series with the SU is =
pretty simple. It requires cutting one of the fuel hard lines, but I =
had already done that anyway to put an in-line filter in it under the =
right rear seat. The switch is under the dash. I have had to use the =
switch a few times, and it is a comfort to know the option of another =
pump is there.

Listers,
=20
I was out for a long drive in the mountains this afternoon and on an =
uphill grade, the car lost power and as I pulled over on a pull off, the =
engine died. I sat in the car for a couple of minutes trying to restart =
it. I waited until traffic was past me and turned the key but did not =
hear the ticking of the fuel pump. I waited several minutes, tried =
again but no luck.
=20
I called AAA and they picked me and the car up for the ride home. At =
home, off the flatbed, still no ticking. So, I am thinking the fuel =
pump is dead.
=20
Looking at the Moss site, they list an early and a late BJ8 pump. The =
Moss tech couldn't tell me which I am. My car number is 29009. Am I an =
early or late pump? Also, if I switch to the double ended pump, do both =
ends work at the same time or is one end a backup for the other end? If =
one end failed would the other end provide fuel in the normal manner and =
save me?
=20
Should I simply go with whichever single pump is for my car and then =
install a backup pump?=20
=20
Just as an important aside, AAA said covid regulations prohibited me =
from riding in the tow truck cab with the driver. I was somewhat amazed =
at this but AAA offered to transfer me to the nearest car rental place =
as a service. I made my call but my ride didn't arrive before the truck =
driver (she was in the middle of a haircut so you know where that got =
me). The driver was very nice about the whole thing and did allow me in =
the cab with him (I wore my mask).
=20
I will start investigating the source of the pump problem tomorrow.

Thanks for all input on this one,
