I took the 55 out to meet a fellow I know who was in town from Vermont. We had a nice lunch and then I went to get the grand daughter from daycare. On the way home I was sitting at a redlight and when it changed the 55 wasn't interested in going anywhere. I played with the pedal and finally got into a gas station. I knew as soon as I turned it off and back on what it was. That all too familar fuel pump whine wasn't there. Let it sit for about 3 mins and turned the key again. The pump kicked on, but was about twice as loud as normal. At any rate I started it and squared it up in a parking spot where the tow truck could back up to it easy and waited. Had the guy drop the car in front of the house and started it and drove it into the garage. I ordered a new fuel pump from Jegs this morning. I got the bad pump from a friend 3 or 4 years ago and it was supposed to have had 10 to 20 runs on it. Oh well, it gives me a reason to make a nicer mount plate for the new pump when I make the swap.
