<DIV></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Listers,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Should I simply go with whichever single pump is for my car and then
install a backup pump? </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I will start investigating the source of the pump problem tomorrow.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for all input on this one,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Fred </DIV>
