You will, of course, repair the old one and keep it in the boot; if, for 
nothing else, to make sure the new one behaves?

At one point I was stopped and I could hear the fuel pump clicking away, 3-4 clicks per second. This was true whether at idle or higher rpm. I knew that normally at idle there was an occasional click.

Oh BTW there was no fuel underneath as is the case when a float needle is stuck and fuel comes out the overflow. No fuel shows up anywhere.
