Listers,

I just replaced the fuel pump on my BJ8.  I have not converted to  
negative ground.  Therefore, I was careful to order a positive ground,  
solid state,  SU fuel pump.  I was told by several people that the new  
SU pumps are polarity insensitive.  Yes, but, I asked my self, "Why  
then does Moss still sell both positive and negative grounded pumps?"   
I think I know one answer to the question but was not willing to risk  
throwing away the cost of a burned out fuel pump.  The answer to the  
question that seems to have run through this string of emails pertains  
to the color of the tape on the body of the pumps.  The pumps with red  
tape are positive gounded.  Those with black tape are negative  
grounded pumps.  These points were made on a small slip of paper in  
the SU package.  Those without any tape are anybody's guess.
